2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid Battery Type
The 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid uses both a high-voltage hybrid battery pack to assist propulsion and a 12V auxiliary battery for starting and accessories. The hybrid pack stores and delivers the energy that improves fuel economy and reduces load on the gasoline engine during acceleration and low-speed operation. The auxiliary 12V battery supports lighting, infotainment, and electronic control modules. Identifying the correct battery type is essential: OEM-specified chemistry and capacity ensure consistent charging characteristics and long life. At Coggin Chevrolet at the Avenues, our technicians confirm the correct chemistry and recommend OEM or approved replacement units.
