Pumping protons through the mitochondrian membrane creates a gradient, just like in batteries, where electrons get transferred to different molecules and eventually ending up in ATP.

It would be a representation because the membrane charges up (one side is positive and the other, negative) just like in a battery.

Does a battery represent a system at equilibrium?

No, a battery does not represent a system at equilibrium. A battery operates by creating a potential difference between its terminals through chemical reactions, which is a non-equilibrium process as it involves the flow of electrons from one terminal to the other.

Where is battery located on 2006 Mercedes e500?

It's on the passenger side at the back, between the shock tower and the firewall. You have to remove the duct to get to it. On top of the battery there are 4 numbers. The first 2 numbers represent the week, the last 2 are the year. So, if you see '2608', it would be the 26th week of 2008. Just keep in mind that is the date when the battery was manufactured, not when it was installed. This is the location for the AUX battery, which I hope is the battery you mean!
