I am wondering the same. I did read somewhere that there are 2 12v batteries.Do we know if the 12v battery (or is it batteries?) is lead acid, AGM, or li-ion?
I tried using the search but didn't find any clear answers, so apologies if this has already been covered.
I was told it was two 6V batteries in series.I am wondering the same. I did read somewhere that there are 2 12v batteries.
That would be surprising. Do you recall where you heard this. My assumption is that with the location the batteries fit behind the frunk there are space limitations that necessitated two narrower batteries.I was told it was two 6V batteries in series.
i wonder if 12V battery management will be the same as Tesla resulting in lots of 12v cycling and reduced lifeFrom the manual - two 12 volt batteries, does not specify type:
This was last week. The guy could’ve been wrong though. He did say they were behind the drink though.That would be surprising. Do you recall where you heard this.

I’m pretty sure our former Kia Soul came with those.A pair of these running in tandem
Maybe a good candidate for the aftermarket?Disappointing that they went with primary (12V) batteries at all. No need for those with modern 90%+ efficient buck converters that can draw off the huge traction battery till the cows come home and would never need replacing.
Other than calling them "Traditional" in a few places, so they might be lead acid, of all things?does not specify type:
