Product Description
Professional Auxiliary Power for Advanced Vehicle Electronics
Modern luxury vehicles and hybrids rely on more than just a main starter battery. The Marathon AUX-14 (Group Size 400) is a specialized 12V AGM auxiliary battery designed to support critical systems like GPS, dashboard displays, and active safety sensors. It is the direct-fit replacement for the factory batteries found in millions of Mercedes-Benz, Infiniti, and Jeep vehicles.
If your vehicle displays an "Auxiliary Battery Malfunction" message, or your Start-Stop system is no longer engaging, a weak auxiliary battery is the most common cause. The AUX-14 provides a robust 200 CCA and a 12Ah–14Ah capacity, ensuring your vehicle's complex electronics receive stable power during engine-off cycles.
Engineered for Safety and Performance:
- Maintenance-Free AGM: No water to check and no acid leaks to worry about. This battery is factory-sealed and safe for installation in passenger compartments or trunks.
- Extended Cycle Life: Designed to withstand twice the cycling of a standard flooded battery, making it the ideal choice for fuel-saving "Auto-Stop" engines.
- Precision Dimensions: With a standard BCI Group 400 footprint (5.9" x 3.4" x 5.7"), it fits perfectly into your existing tray with no modifications.
Why Replace Both? The Two-Battery Solution
Modern luxury vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Infiniti, and Jeep utilize a sophisticated dual-battery system. While the large main battery handles engine cranking, the AUX-14 auxiliary battery acts as a dedicated power source for your vehicle's computers, GPS, and safety sensors during "Auto-Stop" cycles.
The Benefits of Simultaneous Replacement:
- Restore Start-Stop Functionality: If your vehicle no longer shuts off at red lights, it's often because the system detects one battery is too weak to support a restart. Replacing both ensures the system operates as designed.
- Shared Lifespan: Your main and auxiliary batteries are exposed to the same heat and vibration. When one fails, the other is typically near the end of its life, too.
- Save on Labor: Many vehicles require a Battery Management System (BMS) reset after installation. Performing this reset once for both batteries saves time and dealership service fees.
