You made me curious, so I checked my car. It's not in my options list. And the extra battery is not present. However, the battery tray and hookups appear to be there (didn't study it to any level of detail yet). So it may not be hard to retrofit. I didn't expect to see the empty tray there.elc32955 wrote:Tom, my car is a 9C3 and it did come with the extra battery. Dunno why, unless you have a lightbar it really does seem somewhat of a waste.

Re: New found options
Not standard--though I'm pretty sure all of the 9C3 PPV's at Jim Ellis Chevrolet (Atlanta) had the dual-battery option. I do know that Steve Eckart, in Austin, removed his aux battery...and his was a JE car.storm9c1 wrote:Does anyone with a 9C3 have the aux battery? Seems like it is standard on the 9C1 and optional with the 9C3. My 9C3 does not have the extra battery.

My 9C3 has the AUX Battery as well, although I didn't know it until this week. It is hidden behind the trunk liner on the passenger side with no access panel so you have to search for it.storm9c1 wrote:Does anyone with a 9C3 have the aux battery?
