Battery replacement

I want to replace the battery in my 2010 Santa Fe, but there is a plastic cover that appears to be an intake shroud covering the entire battery access. This shroud for lack of a better description, is 11" wide at the front and 14" long.
The front can be disconnected by removing 3 screws, but the back is attached to another component and I can't see how it should be removed. Not being too mechanical, I don't want to remove something that I cannot replace correctly.

Any advice on what this component is, and how to disconnect at the rear?

Thank you

We don not have any information for your vehicle so I do not know how the cover is installed but usually there should be scres or clips holding it in position. If you give it a closer inspection, you should be able to see areas where it is clipped on if no screws are there.
