where is the BATTERY located?

2020 GLE350
installed a dashcam and fiddled around with various fuseboxes

realized ... i can't find the battery
is it in the engine bay? under a seat? somewhere else?
the owner's manual does not specify
a youtube video for an older model shows it being under the passenger seat but it doesn't appear to be the case on the 2020... or am i just missing it?

Page 481 of the manual. It's on the passenger side, near the fire wall.
There's a cover over a positive spade lug -- not very conventional, but convenient, and isolates the jumper connections from each other.

have you opened up the cover and seen the battery yourself?
i am pretty sure i lifted the black plastic/rubber cover and the battery was not there
maybe i was rushing and didn't look hard enough ... but i was baffled because the battery was not where i expected it to be (in the engine bay or in trunk area)

also, the battery jump points are located on the driver's side on my wife's car, which appears to be opposite of the diagram in the manual

Right you are - driver's side is where the jump points are. We hadn't opened the hood yet.
I assumed the battery was right beneath it. Will spend more time searching next time.

Raise the drivers seat all the way up and forward and look under the plastic panel in the floor from the second row.
