Where is the auxiliary battery located in the Jeep Compass?
2 Answers
The auxiliary battery of the Jeep Compass is located under the footwell carpet on the passenger side, while the main battery is positioned beneath the passenger seat. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that operates by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Car battery maintenance: Use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the battery, cleaning off dust, grease, white powder, and other contaminants on the terminals that may cause leakage. Regular cleaning prevents the accumulation of white acidic corrosion powder on the terminals and extends the battery's service life. Open the battery's water filler caps to check if the water level is within the normal range. Typically, there are upper and lower limit markers on the battery's side for reference. If the water level is below the lower marker, distilled water must be added. If distilled water is not immediately available, filtered tap water can be used as an emergency measure. Do not overfill; the standard is to fill to the midpoint between the upper and lower markers. Types of car batteries: Car batteries are categorized into conventional lead-acid batteries and dry-charged batteries.
Hey buddy, last time I helped my sister check the auxiliary battery location in her Jeep Compass, I remember it's usually in the trunk area. You just need to open the trunk, lift up the floor mat or the cover beneath it, and you'll find this small battery in the right rear corner or left side corner. It's mainly designed to power the auto start-stop function, assisting the main battery during engine restart. For some model years like post-2018 versions, it's often placed in the trunk for easier inspection and to prevent heat damage from the engine. When checking, it's recommended to operate with the engine off, handle gently without pulling wires, and wearing gloves is safer. If you're not sure, just visit a repair shop - they can sort it out in a minute, no need to take risks. Regularly checking it during drives and avoiding heavy luggage pressure can extend its lifespan and ensure safe travels.
