Afaik, all SPA D5/T6 cars have two batteries; the main one in the boot rated at 80Ah and a stop-start support battery under the bonnet at 10Ah.

I think the smaller battery is only used to maintain a constant voltage for some of the electronic systems when the starter motor operates (which would otherwise cause a voltage drop). At 10Ah it's not going to do much else.
