Extra battery

My husband is preparing our RV for our summer trip and we replaced the house batteries. He just discovered another battery under the slide floor. We have solar and thought solar just charged the house batteries. Does anyone know what this battery is for? It is a Sunseeker 2290s 2020.

Could this be a dedicated battery for generator?

Having the 2250s with the bed in the slide, I looked up the floor plan for a 2290s - it is the corner bed setup with a dinette in the slide.
I have no idea... so other 2290s owners will need to chime in!

Figured it out through further searching. It is a battery that supplies power to the console when the engine is off so you don’t drain the engine batteries. The console has a plug and two cigarette plugs that remain powered when engine off. I don’t think the radio remains powered as that seems to go off with the engine. It may also be the backup to start the engine if your engine batteries die instead of the house batteries if the unit has this battery. Not sure on this. It is hard to get yo but is a sealed battery do no water necessary. Husband replaced it as it is at least dux years old anc he just did thd house batteries and two years ago we did the engine batteries.

Quick note, it doesn’t start engine if engine battery dead. House batteries do that.
