Cheers Arctic
I've got the new battery but I'm just worried about disconnecting the old one some chap mentioned that it's a pain in the ass because apparently all the windows need a reset

When you replace the old battery wait half hour for the system to drain capacity. Put the new one on then reset the fob key near the driver door 5 times press open rapid then close. Hopefully the setup will have recovered from the shock of revival and become ready for the hairdryers.

When you connect the new battery, the tailgate window will drop to the bottom.

Just press the button to raise it back up.

I think the only other thing that you may need to consider is the PIN code for the radio. My (older '99) has never asked for 1 but later ones may.

Forgetting to mention the tailgate window will drop first thing when a replacement battery fixed. All other doors will okay just press the toggle switch for the tailgate window back up.

Thank you GrumpyGel
Seems simple enough

The five times thingie is only for replacing batteries in the fob I believe, not the starter battery.

I'd be inclined to put the new battery in sooner rather than hanging around, personal preference! The only time I've waited is when my electrics were all screwed up and I disconnected the battery, waited 20 mins then reconnected it.

I just did the fiver out of precaution .
The battery can be a fickle one as your reliance on the retailer guarantee saying three years. Sometimes you only know when you get the dreaded click of doom. The tailgate gives you a clue, when this drops out of the blue especially during the winter. I noticed a cold draft from the rear reversing and ask the snowman to move slightly to the left. Aha that's the battery

You can connect a 12v supply with jump leads to maintain voltage to the car. I have seen some that plug into the cigarette lighter.
