The small battery that makes a Tesla look dead
Tesla will not wake up in New Port Richey? It is usually the small low-voltage battery, not the drive pack. We replace 12-volt lead-acid batteries on Model S, X, 3 and Y where the car is parked. Call (813) 568-9904 or text the year, model and VIN.
Tesla service around New Port Richey
Close to the coast in New Port Richey, near US-19, Grand Boulevard and Pithlachascotee River, salt air gets into the small connections a Tesla needs to wake up. Along with the battery we check the frunk-release leads and the main 12-volt terminals.

Tesla low-voltage battery types
Tesla changed the low-voltage battery over the years, so two cars of the same model can need different parts. Roughly:

|---|---|---|

| Model X | 2016–2020 model years: 12V lead-acid | 2021 on (refresh): lithium-ion, about 15.5–16V |
| Model 3 | Built through about 2021: 12V lead-acid | About 2022 on, incl. 2024+ Highland: lithium-ion (16V or 14.4V) |

What we can and cannot do
- 12-volt lead-acid (older Model S, X, 3 and Y): replaced on site.
- 16-volt (or 14.4-volt) lithium-ion low-voltage battery: Tesla designs these to last much longer, and they are a Tesla part. If yours has one, we tell you before we drive out, and Tesla Service may be the right call.
- High-voltage drive pack: not part of this service.
- Cybertruck: uses a 48-volt low-voltage system. That is a Tesla Service job, not ours.

Questions we get
Do you replace Tesla 12V batteries in New Port Richey?
Yes, on Teslas with the 12-volt lead-acid battery: Model S and X through 2020 and earlier Model 3 and Model Y. We come to you in New Port Richey, FL. Call (813) 568-9904.
My Tesla has the 16-volt lithium battery. Can you replace it?
Those are Tesla parts built to last much longer than the old 12-volt. If the VIN shows a lithium low-voltage battery, we tell you before we come out, and in most cases Tesla Service is the right route.
How do I know which low-voltage battery my Tesla has?
On the touchscreen, go to Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Information. Or send us the VIN and we check.
My Tesla is dead in a New Port Richey garage. What do I do?
Leave it where it is and call us with the location and VIN. With external power we can open the frunk and, on 12-volt cars, replace the battery right there.
Do you work on the high-voltage battery or Cybertruck?
No. We do not service the drive pack, and Cybertruck's 48-volt system is a Tesla Service job.
