All kinds of new cars have their batteries stashed away in enclosures vs. the engine compartment. My M3 had its battery under the rear trunk floor someplace (I never even saw it).

Comment on those "acid mats" -- don't!

Think about it. When it gets wet, it's a sponge sitting there holding a bunch of moisture against your sheet metal, until it dries out which could be weeks. I got some rust pitting on a brand new tray within months due to one of those things (and I live in SoCal).
