The battery looks like it is under the gas tank. the seat, air cleaner, filter, tank cowl and smoke exhaust vent need to be removed. Also drain and remove the gas tank.Battery will slide out from the left side of the bike.
Below is a link to a manual you should have if you are going to work on her. Best of luck

There is a lever under the seat to lift up. . There is also a side cover that can be taken off. There will be a bolt for both cables and nuts on both. Disconnect negative first. When connecting, connect red cable first.
