2018 Chrysler Pacifica-Hybrid Battery Specifications
The 2018 Chrysler Pacifica-Hybrid uses two distinct energy sources: a high‑voltage lithium-ion traction battery for propulsion and a separate 12‑volt auxiliary battery that powers low‑voltage electronics, modules, lighting, and locks. The 12‑volt unit is dedicated to starting and supporting vehicle systems; the hybrid traction battery does not replace the need for a healthy 12‑volt battery. On some hybrids, the 12‑volt battery may be located away from the engine bay, and access can vary by configuration. If you are unsure of your Pacifica‑Hybrid’s 12‑volt specifications or placement, we can verify the exact OE-spec unit by VIN and confirm fitment before installation. Bring your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica-Hybrid to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Tucson in Tucson for an OEM-spec replacement — schedule service.
