Are you asking about the 12v battery in the rear hatch area?
Reason I ask is that technically that battery runs the electronics and needs to be in good enough state to run the ecu. The ecu then signals the mg1, to spin the engine [start]. We no longer have a starter.
Please see the ongoing discussions on the 12v battery. Theoretically any auto 12v battery can be used, but there are some concerns about how to drain the fumes and should the battery be deep-cycle or not.

Thread located here, if indeed you are interested in replacing the 12 Volt battery, which is located under the cargo bay area floor:

If you are asking about the traction battery, then this is not really a DIY job for the average home mechanic.
