What the Tesla Model 3 takes
Model 3 cars built up to about 2021 use a 45 Ah 12V lead-acid battery under the front trunk trim, which we change on site. Later cars carry the lithium-ion low-voltage battery, so we test and advise.
As a saloon, the Model 3 uses a mid-size battery that is quick to reach and quick to swap. Daily commuting in slow traffic is what wears it out here.
Older versions of the Model 3 generally use a standard maintenance-free battery with no registration step, so the swap is quick.
On electric and plug-in models only the 12V low-voltage battery is serviced. The high-voltage drive battery is never opened.
Lead-acid Model 3 and Model Y cars usually carry a compact 45 Ah battery in the Japanese B24 case size, vented through a small hose. Older Model S and Model X cars use a small deep-cycle AGM, usually somewhere between 33 and 45 Ah depending on the year. These are low-capacity batteries because nothing has to crank an engine. The technician reads the label on the battery in the car before fitting anything, since Tesla changed suppliers and sizes over the years. Cars with the lithium-ion low-voltage battery have no aftermarket equivalent we would fit.

Tesla fitting notes that apply to the Model 3
- The car is powered off from the touchscreen before the 12V terminal is touched, and a window is left slightly open because frameless door glass cannot drop without low-voltage power.
- On lead-acid Model 3 and Model Y cars the vent hose has to be clipped back onto the new battery, or gas vents under the trim instead of outside the car.
- Running jump leads from a Tesla to another car is a bad idea: its low-voltage system is not built to supply starter current to a petrol engine.
- After a new 12V battery the warning on the screen usually clears by itself once the car has slept and woken. If it stays, Tesla service can clear it.
Signs a Tesla Model 3 battery is on its way out
- A message on the screen saying the 12V or low-voltage battery needs replacing soon. Treat it as days of warning, not months.
- The car does not wake when you approach, the door handles stay dead and the app shows the car as offline.
- The screen restarts, windows fail to drop when a door opens, or the car refuses to go into Drive although the main pack shows plenty of range.

Tesla Model 3 battery: FAQs
What battery does a Tesla Model 3 take?
It depends on the model year and engine. The technician confirms the exact size and technology from the battery already fitted or from the chassis number, then fits the same specification. For the Model 3 we most often fit Varta, Bosch, ACDelco.
How long does it take to replace a Tesla Model 3 battery?
Fitting usually takes 15 to 30 minutes once the technician is at the car. Typical arrival in Al Taawun is 20 to 35 minutes, so most Model 3 owners are driving again within an hour of calling.
Can you replace a Tesla Model 3 battery in a basement car park?
Yes. Send the tower name, level and bay number. If the van cannot enter, the technician carries the battery and tools to the car.
Can you jump start a Tesla that will not wake up?
Not in the way a petrol car is jump started, because there is no starter motor to turn. What we do is support the 12V system with an external supply so the computers wake and the contactors close. If the low-voltage battery is still healthy the car then looks after itself; if it is finished, it needs replacing.
How do I know whether my Tesla has the lead-acid or the lithium-ion low-voltage battery?
The build date is the first clue: Model S and Model X from the 2021 refresh, and Model 3 and Model Y from about 2022, usually have lithium-ion. The sure way is to read the label on the battery under the front trunk trim, which the technician does during the free test.
