We all complain about the challenge of locating the 12-volt battery or batteries on vehicles we encounter at our crash scenes. So I thought, let's see how many locations for batteries we can come up with.
1) Engine compartment: Obviously under the hood within the engine compartment is still the most common location.
2) Trunk: Within the trunk, either in a side wheelwell or under the center floor area
3) Under a rear seat: The older GM Buick and Oldsmobile vehicles introduced the battery under the rear seat challenge
4) Under the front passenger floorboard: The Smart Car's battery is under the floor area where the front passenger would put their feet
5) Inside a driver's side front wheelwell: The Chrysler Cirrus is just one example of a car with its' 12-volt battery inside the driver's side wheelwell just behind the front bumper.
So there's our first five locations. What other one's are there that we could encounter and on what vehicle(s)? Who's the battery expert out there?
