Battery leads removed but there appears to be something restraining the lip of the battery on both sides at the bottom and there is no room to slide the battery out. It has to lift out but is firmly stuck
This video is for a different model, but shows a socket with extension to release the bar that holds the battery in.

Just struggled with the same issue in the i20 automatic 2013. There are two bolts holding down the clip at the back of the battery. They are behind the electrical plate which is directly behind the battery. You will also have to remove the nut attaching the arm of the plate to the chassis above and to the right of the battery. Then you can wiggle out the battery taking it out of the back clamp first.
