2 Answers
The car battery of the Audi Q5 is located in the trunk. Lift the protective panel behind the spare tire near the car door to see the battery. The car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery and is categorized into regular batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. The working principle of the battery is to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Taking the 2018 Audi Q5 Classic Edition as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of: length 4629mm, width 1898mm, height 1655mm, a wheelbase of 2807mm, a fuel tank capacity of 75 liters, and a trunk capacity of 540 liters.
I've been driving an Audi Q5 for several years, and the battery is located at the front right of the engine compartment, right beneath the air filter box. You'll need to pop the hood first, then you'll see a plastic cover—pry that open, and the battery will be visible. The placement is quite convenient for maintenance, eliminating the need to crawl under the car. During routine checks, simply glance at the electrolyte level and check for corrosion on the terminals to extend its lifespan. In cold winter weather, if the battery dies, you can easily jump-start or replace it by opening the hood—just remember to disconnect the negative terminal first to prevent short circuits. Overall, Audi's choice of location is well thought out, avoiding issues like heavy items in the trunk damaging the battery, and owners report it doesn’t compromise space utilization.
