I'm a EE, so I understand what you are asking.

when I am jump starting -- it's to the battery terminals -- or to the battery terminal wires.
when I am bypassing the battery -- the battery is physically unconnected to the car.
I.e. I remove the connections and connect directly to the battery terminal wires.
