What size battery does a 2018–2024 Chevrolet Equinox take?

BCI group 48 (H6) AGM. Group size is a physical dimension and terminal-position standard, so a battery from a different group may not clamp down or may put the terminals on the wrong side.

Does the 2018–2024 Chevrolet Equinox need an AGM battery?

Yes. This vehicle requires AGM, not flooded. A flooded battery in a start-stop system is cycled far harder than it is designed for and fails early.

Where is the battery on a 2018–2024 Chevrolet Equinox?

Engine bay, driver side.

Does a 2018–2024 Chevrolet Equinox need the battery registered after replacement?

All gas models have auto stop/start (not defeatable until 2022), so replace with an AGM battery of the same rating, a flooded battery dies quickly in stop/start duty. Most listings and dealer parts data show Group 48/H6 AGM; a few base builds cross to Group 47/H5. Measure or check the original label before buying.
