Most Common Locations:
* Under the hood: This is the most common location. The battery is usually on the driver's side, near the front of the engine compartment.
* In the trunk: Some cars, particularly European models, place the battery in the trunk for weight distribution and accessibility.
Less Common Locations:
* Under the passenger seat: This is less common, but some cars, especially older models, might have the battery under the front passenger seat.
* Inside the cabin: In some vehicles, the battery might be located inside the cabin, often under the floor mat or behind a panel.
Tips for finding the battery:
* Consult your owner's manual: This will provide the most accurate location for your specific car.
* Look for the battery terminals: They are usually red (positive) and black (negative).
* Check online forums or resources: Search for your car's model year and "battery location" online for more information.
Remember:
* Always disconnect the negative (-) terminal first before working on the battery.
* Be careful not to touch the battery terminals with bare hands, as they can cause a painful shock.
* Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from battery acid spills.
