Towards the spare wheel. I don't like the terminals near the RH tank.

I’ve always wondered what the correct orientation should be for the battery obviously negative towards the rear of the car. But are terminals closer to the spare tyre/centre of car or towards the drivers side? |

I don't remember the number, but it's a V6 VT/VX Commodore battery from memory - the terminals are near the outside of the car. |
