Auxiliary Battery Replacement in Dubai for Dual-Battery Cars

We replace auxiliary batteries on the spot in Dubai, day and night, starting with the small backup battery in Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi dual-battery cars. Both batteries are tested first, so only the one that has failed is replaced. The new part matches the old one, and we check that it charges before we leave. In a hybrid, we test the 12V battery and tell you what the car needs.

Which Auxiliary Battery Your Car Carries

  • Backup battery in dual-battery carsA small second battery in many Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi models. It keeps power steady through start-stop restarts and, on automatic Mercedes models, keeps the transmission able to select P.
  • 12V battery in hybridsEvery hybrid carries a 12V battery beside its high-voltage pack. It runs the lights, audio and gauges, as in any other car.
  • Larger auxiliary batteriesSome dual-battery systems use a full-size auxiliary of up to 35Ah. We match the part already fitted.

Auxiliary Battery Malfunction: What to Do Now

On a Mercedes-Benz, the message means the battery that backs up the transmission is no longer charging. Until it is replaced:

  • Select P before you switch the engine off

  • Apply the electric parking brake before you leave the car

  • Call us to test both batteries where the car is parked

The car usually still starts and drives, because the main battery is unaffected. The risk comes when you park, so the warning should not wait.

Auxiliary Battery Replacement, Step by Step

  1. Test both batteries

    The main battery, the auxiliary battery and the charging supply are tested, so the right part is replaced.

  2. Secure the car

    The car goes into P with the parking brake on before anything is disconnected.

  3. Match the part and vent

    The new battery matches the old one's size, capacity and terminals, and the vent tube is refitted where the case has one.

  4. Fit and check charging

    Once it is fitted we confirm the new battery is charging, and the old one goes for recycling.

What a Hybrid's 12V Battery Needs

A hybrid carries two batteries: the high-voltage pack that drives the car, and a 12V battery that lets the hybrid system power up.

  • A flat 12V stops a hybridWith a flat 12V battery a hybrid may not power up at all, even with a healthy hybrid pack. It is the first thing we test.
  • Often in the bootOn many Toyota hybrids the 12V battery sits in the luggage area, not under the bonnet. Your model and year tell us where yours is.
  • Healthy at 12.6VA fully charged 12V battery reads 12.6V or more, and our test shows whether yours still reaches it.

A hybrid parked for weeks keeps its 12V battery healthier when the hybrid system runs for 30 minutes every two months.

Auxiliary battery questions

The small battery that backs up the automatic transmission is no longer being charged. Select P before you switch off, apply the electric parking brake before you leave the car, and have both batteries tested.

The car usually still drives, because the main battery starts it. The risk comes when you park, so select P and set the parking brake every time, and book the test soon.

Many Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi models carry a small auxiliary battery beside the main one, and every hybrid has a 12V battery beside its high-voltage pack. Your make, model and year tell us which yours has.

Often it is the 12V battery, which the hybrid system needs before it can power up. We test it first, because it is the quicker and cheaper fault to rule out.

Most are small, from 9Ah to 13Ah, in a case about the size of a motorcycle battery. Some dual-battery systems use a larger 35Ah unit. We match the part already fitted.

Prices start from AED 175 fitted. An auxiliary part is priced on the phone for your exact car before anyone sets off.

Yes. Auxiliary batteries carry our 1-year warranty, like every battery we fit, covering manufacturing faults; the invoice records the part and the date.
