Alternator/Starter Wiring

In terms of wiring, the back seat battery will just have one big wire 
running to the starter and then to the other main connections.  The 
underhood battery has a starter wire, and then two separate wires to the 
alternator and fusebox running directly off it.

You will often find the underseat cars have a bit of exhaust doodad in 
the way of where the battery would have been under the hood - the 
wastegate sticking up to the side and behind the cylinder head.
