Where is the battery located in the Cadillac CT6?
2 Answers
Cadillac CT6's battery is located in the trunk. The original battery is maintenance-free, so do not remove the cover or add any liquid. The vehicle uses an Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) 12-volt battery. Installing a standard 12-volt battery will shorten the battery's service life. Taking the 2020 Cadillac CT6 as an example, it is positioned as a mid-to-large-sized sedan, equipped with a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 241 PS, a maximum torque of 350 Nm, and a maximum power of 177 kW. It is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Hey, as a Cadillac CT6 owner, I've personally experienced the hassle of locating the battery. The car's battery is situated in the trunk, specifically at the front section, directly beneath the rear seat area. First, open the trunk and clear out any clutter, then lift up the floor carpet or mat to reveal a rectangular plastic cover. Pry it open, and the battery will be exposed. Why place it here? Primarily for vehicle weight balance—the CT6 is rear-wheel drive, and positioning the battery in the trunk optimizes weight distribution, enhancing handling stability. When replacing the battery, remember to disconnect the negative terminal first to prevent short circuits. Also, if jump-starting due to a battery failure, don’t dismantle the trunk directly; there are dedicated jump-start points in the engine compartment, clearly marked in the manual. For routine maintenance, it’s recommended to check terminal cleanliness quarterly to avoid oxidation issues and prolong battery life.
