Not sure on 111R battery size.

Check the existing battery - it should have a size code on it - S1s were an 063 code - never changed a battery on an S2, let alone 111R :-)

First rule of working on batteries - disconnect negative terminal first, reconnect negative terminal last.

On the elise, just before you disconnect the battery you need to disarm the alarm/immobiliser, then remove the battery terminal in less than 60s, but certainly before the alarm/immobiliser rearm automatically. If you don't do this, it will go ape ...

Cheers,
Robin
