Rear battery Estima Hybrid

Novice question but the Battery in the rear nearside compartment, next to the jack, what does this power or do ?

Hi Sa'id, the small Battery you're referring to in the rear nearside compartment is likely the 12 v auxiliary Battery, also sometimes called the secondary Battery. It's not the main battery that starts the engine.

This auxiliary battery provides power for the vehicle's electrical components when the engine is off. This can include things like:

Interior lights,Door locks,Audio system,Memory settings for seats, mirrors, etc.

Even though it's a smaller battery than the one used for the engine, it plays an key role in keeping your car's electrical systems functioning properly.Hope this helps.
