Where is the battery of Audi Q5 located?
2 Answers
Audi Q5's battery is located in the trunk, behind the spare tire near the door. There is a cover plate that can be lifted up to reveal the battery. The service life of a car battery is 2-3 years. Therefore, if the battery has been in use for about two years, it is important to note that its service life may have expired. At this point, frequent checks should be conducted, and early detection should be prioritized to identify and resolve issues or replace the battery in time, avoiding sudden battery failure during use which could lead to losses. After replacing with a new battery, it may not be fully charged. Therefore, after installing a new battery, it is necessary to let the engine run for a longer period to ensure the battery is fully charged.
My Q5 has been running for five years, and there are some specifics when it comes to the battery. For older models, the battery is usually under the trunk floor mat—just lift the mat, and you'll find a black cover. Pry it open, and the battery is right there. However, in newer models, it's hidden near the passenger footwell; you'll need to crouch down to spot the foam box. A reminder: always remove the key and turn off the power before disconnecting the battery, or the onboard computer might malfunction. Nowadays, 4S shops usually back up data with a diagnostic tool before working on it. For DIYers, the safest approach is to use a portable jump starter in emergencies rather than forcing the battery out.
