Want this question answered?
it's in the trunk under the floor mat on the right side
After I tried the above without success, I called the dealer. I have a 2002 XK8. There is a hole for the key between the X and the K just above the rear bumper. The battery is to the right of the spare.
the battery is in the trunk on the righr of thr spare tire...
You have to take the trunk floor out and the battery will be on the right.
remove the trunk floor and the battery is on the right next to the spare tire.
Um, its in the trunk under the mat.
Underneath the floor of the trunk to the right of the spare tire. There is a cover there that pulls up, and then you can access the battery.

put the ignition key in the little hole in the xk8 emblem on the trunk lid and turn it. works like a regular key lock trunk
You'll find that the key goes into a keyhole hidden in the Chrome "XK8" badge on the rear panel. Between the k and the 8 if I recall.
I would expect that the battery is dead; however, instead of jump starting the car, it is far easier on your car's charging system to place a battery charger on it for about 6 hours then start the car. Otherwise, the alternator tries to charge the dead battery at a wide open rate and it can damage your alternator. Mark
The battery is under the floor of the trunk on the right side. You can't disconnect it under the hood.
