When Luxury Won’t Start: 2016 Maserati Quattroporte Battery Replacement in Encinitas, CA
Even the finest vehicles can fail to start when the battery dies — and that includes Maserati. Recently, Carlsbad Mobile Mechanic was called out to Encinitas, CA for a battery replacement on a 2016 Maserati Quattroporte that refused to turn over.
At first glance, most drivers expect to find their car battery under the hood. But in this Maserati, the main battery is tucked away under the trunk, hidden beneath panels and trim. While the design helps balance vehicle weight and protect the battery from engine heat, it also makes replacement tricky without the proper tools and knowledge.
The Challenge of Hidden Batteries
Luxury and performance cars like the Maserati Quattroporte often place their batteries in remote locations such as the trunk, under the rear seats, or beneath the floor. Without the right removal process, it’s easy to damage wiring or onboard electronics. In this case, our technician had to carefully remove the trim panels and access covers to reach the battery compartment safely.
Once exposed, the old battery was tested, confirmed dead, and replaced with a high-performance AGM battery designed to meet Maserati’s demanding electrical requirements. After installation, the electrical system was tested to ensure full charge capacity and no error codes were present.
