Is it an AL with 3 single coils ? Or an AL with 2 humbuckers ?
If it is an HH AL, there is no silent circuit, thus there is no battery.
If it is an SSS AL, there is a battery compartment.
If it is an early AL I believe they do not have a silent circuit so there would be no battery

That reminds me...anyone know roughly what year the silent circuit started getting offered on the ALs and Silhouette Specials?

There is an April 2000 Hardtail SSS AL on reverb right now with no battery box. If there is a battery and silent circuit, it must be under the pickguard.
My first guess was 1998. The wiring diagrams for the Silhouette Special suggest April 1997, os it can't be earlier than that. I assume there was a delay between the first diagrams and production line but how long, I can't guess.
