The 2016 Jeep Cherokee does not come with an extra auxiliary battery like the Grand Cherokee does. Instead, it has a standard battery located under the hood in the engine compartment. Some newer cars have started using a second battery due to increased electrical needs, but the Cherokee sticks with a larger main battery. This larger battery ensures that the engine will start smoothly, especially when using the start-stop system, so you can rely on it to prevent any unexpected power failures while driving.
They indeed possess backup batteries! The auxiliary one is located beneath the passenger seat, tucked below a rug!
In the 2016 Jeep Cherokee, you can find the battery beneath the hood. Just search for a big black box with a red and black connection on the top.
The dealership replaced the auxiliary battery in my 2016 Jeep Cherokee to try to fix the stop/go light issue, but it turns out that my vehicle doesn't even have an auxiliary battery.
Could someone please assist me in locating the auxiliary battery on a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk?
The kl Jeep Cherokee has one main battery, an AGM battery that manages everything, including the start/stop feature. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is the only model with an auxiliary battery in addition to the main one.
