It is a 5/16" or 8mm wrench. There is no really set wrench for a side terminal battery as long as the wrench makes full contact with the head of the bolt.

How to install a battery in a Toyota Matrix?
It is no different than installing a battery in any car that has a regular 12 volt system. Make sure the vehicle is turned completely off. Take either a 10mm or 12mm open end wrench and loosen the terminal connections. Do the negative side first ( - ) and then the positive ( + ). If you are unsure of which is which, look on the side or top of the battery for the symbols. Most batteries have a tie down, so take your 12mm wrench and unscrew the nuts from the two rods coming up the side of the battery that are going through a bracket that spans the top of the battery. Remove the spanner and the cables from the terminal and pull it out. Put the new one in reverse order connecting the positive side last.

What happens when you connect the negative terminal first when replacing a battery?
Nothing happens to the vehicle if you connect the negative side first.But is is safer to connect the positive side first. Reason If the negative side is already connected and you put the positive side on you take a chance of touching a part of the body or radiator with your wrench while tightening it, causing the positive side to ground out. If your negative side is not connected yet and you touch the wrench to the body while tighting the positive side nothing will happen. So installing the positive side first reduces the chance of shorting the battery out which could cause the battery to explode.
