The power source designed for the specified model year of the popular compact SUV is a crucial component for starting the engine, providing power to electrical systems when the engine is off, and supporting the vehicle’s overall functionality. It is a 12-volt lead-acid type, typically conforming to specific size and cold cranking amp (CCA) standards outlined by the manufacturer to ensure compatibility and reliable performance.
A functioning power supply is essential for the vehicle’s operation. Its health directly affects the SUV’s ability to start reliably, particularly in cold weather conditions. Over time, the part deteriorates due to normal usage and environmental factors. Replacement with a compatible and quality option ensures continued performance and avoids potential issues such as a no-start condition or electrical system malfunction. The original equipment part, as well as aftermarket alternatives, can offer varying levels of performance and longevity.
