Low-voltage auxiliary battery

FAQ
Tesla Model S battery questions
Short, direct answers. Message us if yours is not here.
Which battery does the Tesla Model S take?
It depends on the model year and engine. Send both, ideally with a photo of the current battery label, and we confirm the correct size, terminal layout and technology before bringing it.
Can you replace a Tesla Model S battery at my home on Yas Island?
Yes. We fit Model S batteries at accessible homes, apartment parking and hotel or mall car parks on Yas Island. Send your location pin and parking details so we can confirm the visit.
How long does a Tesla Model S battery last in Abu Dhabi?
Heat shortens battery life, so batteries here often need replacing sooner than the three to five years typical elsewhere. Short trips and long periods parked shorten it further. A yearly test tells you where yours stands.
How do I know if my Tesla has a lead-acid or lithium low-voltage battery?
The model year is the main guide. As a general rule, cars built before the 2021 to 2022 changeover have 12V lead-acid and later ones have 16V lithium-ion, but it varies by model and factory. We confirm from your build date or by inspection.
