Cant find the battery [View all]

Friend of mine is in the hospital long term and asked if he could park his late 90s Impala in my driveway. OK no problem, i've been starting it a couple of times a month to keep the battery charged however this week it seems the battery is totally dead. first thing i want to check is the battery contact terminals and make sure they are clean,problem is i cant find the battery
Its the 3800 v6 motor and looks a lot like this.
