Battery replacement with cruise control

Does the cruise control interfere with replacing the battery? It looks like the cruise control's cables must be disconnected to allow the battery to get out and back in.

Looks tight but I removed my battery with no problem. You may have to remove the airbox first but that is easier than removing the cruise box. IMO.

shouldn't be any big issues with it.

besides.. the box is mounted by one nut that you can loosen (don't need to take it out completely) and you can just move it out of the way if you really need to.

Undoing that nut does not allow the cruise control box to move anywhere. It is still trapped on the end of its two non-removable cables so neither it or its two cables can move out of the way of removing the battery.
If necessary, removing the airbox as the other person suggested would allow the battery to move toward the engine and out from under the cruise control cables.
