Default Battery Location

Hi all. Probably a bit of a stupid question (I am a new Harley owner) - but where is the battery located on my XL1200N and how easy is it to access?

Many thanks!

left side, behind that plastic cover, I believe you got to remove the seat then pull the cover off. whatever you do, make sure you get the cover good and snug back on or most use zip ties to hold it on. the clips do not hold very good and you will lose it going down the orad
