Battery System (Service Information): Battery: Description
Advanced Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are used on this vehicle. The battery is located in the engine compartment. These batteries have non-removable battery cell caps. Under normal service, the composition of this battery reduces gassing and water loss at normal charge rates.
The battery performs the function of a chemical storage device for electrical energy generated by the alternator. It must be capable of supplying high current for starting and powering other electrical loads. The battery function is also to serve as a stabilizing component in the charging system by providing energy when the system demands exceed the output of the generator.
Connected to the battery are the:
- Positive battery cable terminal (1)
- Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) (2)
- Battery thermal protection cover (3)
