6. It looks like the positive post on the alternator is accessible.

The gauge of wire on that post would be too small for jump starting, but you could easily charge from there. Also try following that wire to either a junction box or fuse box, that's where it would tie in. What car/year is this that we are looking at? I'm only here for a little while now, but will be back tonight if you aren't here now.

edit to add - viewing an unrelated video regarding that car showed the battery beneath and forward of the coolant reservoir, passenger side, near the headlight, and fairly low.
