Just been in that exact situation. Need to charge battery, but as it's in the boot, you can't get to it!

The way I got around it was to connect up a portable jump start unit under the bonnet which allowed me to unlock car with remote plip.

Once I had removed battery for charging, I just relocked with plip, removed jump start and closed bonnet - all secure.

Do the same to refit battery, but just remember to set ignition to position II before connecting it up. Not sure why, just something Volvo dealer told me I needed to do.

Not sure about manually but I used my key on driver side door and unlocked twice. Turn the key twice and you will hear it unlock. This popped the lock on the tailgate. When in doubt, always go to the drivers door!

How do you replace the tailgate struts on a Volvo V70?

To replace the tailgate struts on a Volvo V70, first, support the tailgate in the open position to prevent it from falling. Use a flathead screwdriver to carefully pry off the retaining clips or sockets that secure the old struts at both ends. Remove the old struts and then attach the new ones by fitting them into place and securing them with the clips. Finally, test the tailgate to ensure it opens and closes smoothly.
