Battery in the trunk

[Ebergg]

I recently bought a 2016 genesis v3.8 and found it very strange and possibly inconvenient that the battery is in the trunk.
Could this be an issue if you're giving a jump start?

There shouldn't be an issue. There are + and - connections under the hood in the engine bay.

agreed on both counts.

most newer vehicles have have the battery in the trunk and jumper posts under the hood..

you have a key override for the drivers door and trunk so you can enter the car manually if you have a dead battery.


personally I will never jump another car, too many electronics and to great a risk something can short.

I carry a halo portable charger/booster for that type of assistance:

i have found it to be very reliable, having used it several times for fellow employees, and noted it had been in my trunk for 10 months and still held a full charge.
