Tesla Model S low-voltage battery, honestly explained
We replace Tesla Model S 12-volt batteries across Tampa at your home or work. Send the VIN or call (813) 568-9904 and we confirm the battery type before we drive out.
Which low-voltage battery your Tesla Model S has
Model S from 2012 through the 2020 model year uses a 12-volt lead-acid (AGM) battery. The 2021-on refreshed Model S (Long Range and Plaid) uses a lithium-ion low-voltage battery rated about 15.5 to 16 volts.
What to know about the Tesla Model S
- The pre-2021 Model S is the Tesla most likely to need a 12-volt battery, because many of these cars are now several batteries into their life.
- Some older Model S cars give a "12V battery needs service" style alert days or weeks before they go dark. Book when you see it, not when the car is dead.
- Refreshed 2021-on cars with the 16-volt lithium unit are normally a Tesla Service job, and we say so up front.
