Tesla Model S

About the Model S's battery

Earlier Model S cars use a 12V AGM battery reached by removing trim in the front boot, which takes time. Refreshed cars from 2021 moved to a lithium low-voltage battery. The technician confirms which is fitted before starting.

Compact cars have small engine bays and small batteries, so there is less reserve. A week parked with a dashcam running can be enough to flatten one. Getting the exact case size right matters because the tray has no spare room.

What to expect by model year

  • From roughly 2010 to 2016, start-stop arrived on many models. If yours has it, the battery will be EFB or AGM and should be replaced with the same type.
  • From about 2017 onwards, a battery sensor on the negative terminal is common. On many cars the new battery has to be registered so the charging system treats it correctly.
  • On cars still under manufacturer warranty, keep the invoice. A like-for-like battery of the correct specification, properly registered, is what the handbook asks for.

What applies to every Tesla

Every Tesla needs its low-voltage battery to unlock the doors, wake the screens and close the contactors that connect the main pack. When it fails, the car looks completely dead even with a full traction battery. Cars built until around late 2021 use a 12V lead-acid unit, an AGM type on Model S and Model X and a compact maintenance-free one on Model 3 and Model Y. It sits beneath trim panels in the front boot area.

Later cars switched to a lithium low-voltage battery of about 16V, and the Cybertruck runs a 48V system. Those are Tesla parts fitted by Tesla service, and this service does not replace them. What can be done at the car is a test, a like-for-like 12V replacement on older models, and an external 12V supply to wake a car with a flat low-voltage battery. The traction pack itself cannot be jump started. An empty pack means recovery to a charger.

    Car was dead on P2 after three weeks away. Sent the tower and bay number on WhatsApp and the technician was at the car in about 25 minutes. He tested it first and showed me the printout before changing anything.

    The dealership quoted me three days. These guys fitted an AGM battery in my building's basement the same evening and registered it to the car. Start-stop works again.

    Honest. I was sure I needed a new battery. He jump started it, checked the alternator and told me the battery still had life in it, just drive it more. Didn't try to sell me anything.

    Friday night on The Walk so it took closer to 40 minutes than 30, but they called to say so. Battery is in the boot on mine and he knew exactly where to go. Paid with Tabby.

    Clear about the options. Three brands that fit my car, what each one cost and how long the warranty was, all on WhatsApp before he set off. No surprises when he arrived.

    Second time I've used them, different car. Same result: on time, clean job, terminals cleaned without me asking. I've saved the number.

    Security at my cluster can be difficult with outside contractors. They told me exactly what to say to the gate and it went smoothly. Battery changed in twenty minutes.

Tesla Model S battery questions

How long does it take to change a Tesla Model S battery?

About 20 to 30 minutes once the technician is at the car. Add a few minutes if the battery sits in the boot or under a seat, or if the new one has to be registered to the car.

Will I lose my radio and seat settings?

No. We connect a memory saver before disconnecting the old battery, so the clock, radio presets, windows and seat memory stay as they are.

Can you fit the battery in my tower's basement parking?

Yes. Send the tower name, parking level and bay number, and let security know a technician is coming.

Can you jump start a Tesla in JBR?

The main traction pack cannot be jump started. If the low-voltage battery is flat, an external 12V supply can wake the car so it unlocks and powers up, and the technician can do that at your bay. If the main pack is empty, the car needs a recovery truck to a charger.

Do you replace the lithium low-voltage battery on newer Tesla models?

No. That battery is a Tesla part with its own electronics and is fitted by Tesla service. The technician can check the voltage, confirm whether the alert on your screen matches a failing battery, and arrange recovery if the car cannot be driven. Older cars with a 12V lead-acid battery are replaced on site.
