Default Where is it this time? The battery

Recently picked up a 2017 S, doing my usual digging around and I can't locate the battery. Under the driver seat on our Cayenne, a pain to get to but it stays clean. So, anyone know where to look? The manual says disconnect it if you store the vehicle, I don't see that being an issue...

The manual says it's in the cargo area under the floor, but I've never seen it. Just tools, the spare tire, and subwoofer. It's possible it's underneath all that, I guess. It looks like you'd need a wrench to remove those floor panels to get to it if it's down there. Maybe, since most people rarely need to access it, that's where it's hidden?

I found this road test of the Macan that shows the location of the battery. It is under the spare tire. You need to remove the tire and pull up a mat (it looks like you don't need tools) to get to the battery.

Thanks, obviously I didn't get that far. I looked through the spare for a panel, the mat hides it well...
