Where is the battery located in the Verano?

The battery of the Buick Verano is located under the floor panel in the trunk. Simply lift the trim panel to see it, adjacent to the spare tire storage area. The car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, what people refer to as a battery is a lead-acid battery. This is a type of battery mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Here are some methods to extend the battery's lifespan: 1. Avoid frequent starts, as the starting current can reach hundreds of amperes, causing severe battery depletion after frequent starts. 2. Clean the oxides on the battery surface promptly to provide a good working environment for the battery and reduce corrosion reactions. 3. For vehicles that are parked for long periods, charge the battery regularly. For lead-acid batteries, an appropriate amount of distilled water can be added.
The battery in my Verano is located in the engine compartment. You can see it at a glance when you open the hood, on the left side near the driver's seat, secured under a black plastic cover. I've replaced it several times myself. First, you need to unscrew the small screws on the cover, and when loosening the terminals, remember to disconnect the black negative cable first—safety first. The battery placement here is quite reasonable, making maintenance easy and saving space. However, you should be aware of reduced battery performance in cold winters, so it's good to check the voltage with a multimeter beforehand. My neighbor's car battery wasn't properly maintained and suddenly died on the road, which was a real hassle. Regularly checking the electrolyte level and terminal corrosion can extend its lifespan; generally, it should be replaced every three to four years. The location is easy to find, but for beginners, it's better not to rush into doing it yourself—getting help from someone experienced is more reassuring.
