The right rear seat needs to come out. First raise the seat as high as it will go and look under the seat for a rod that is hooked into a space in the "tub" of the car and on the other end is a 17mm bolt head. Unscrew the bolt and the seat base will come out. Replace the battery and then the seat base.
