You mean the accumulator? Assuming you know where it is:
1. Turn off all consumers. Remove the wires, - first, then the +.
2. Look for any fixators, usually a small bracket at the bottom, and loosen or remove them.
3. Place a new accumulator according to vehicle manual or with same dimensions and same or more Ah (BUT not less Ah, more Ah will cost you more but will give you more "starting tries", less Ah will cost you less but assuming you replace the original battery, won't work).
4. Fasten the fixators from 2.
5. Connect the wires, first +, then -.

You need to remove the three bolts securing the bar that the fuse box is clipped to, then slide the tube out and move the fuse box out of the way. Then use an 8mm socket to remove the battery cables. You may need to loosen 2 more screws that hold a piece of plastic against the battery toward the bottom of the cavity. This piece of plastic holds the battery in place.
