American · ElectricTesla Battery Replacement in Dubai for the LV Battery
We check a Tesla's low voltage battery at the car, around the clock, and swap it only when it cannot be recovered. Model 3 and Model Y cars built in Shanghai after about October 2021, or in Fremont after about December 2021, carry a lithium-ion low voltage battery, so the replacement is the same type as the one fitted at the factory.

Which Low Voltage Battery Your Tesla Has
Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y guides date the change to production: Shanghai builds after about October 2021 and Fremont builds after about December 2021 carry a lithium-ion low voltage battery. On the 2017 to 2023 Model 3 and 2020 to 2024 Model Y, the touchscreen shows which one is fitted under Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Information.
Our work covers that low voltage battery, never the high voltage pack that drives the car.

From Alert to New Low Voltage Battery
Try to recover it
The 2017 to 2023 Model 3 service manual says the lithium-ion battery may not need replacing and to attempt recovery first.
Fit the replacement
If recovery fails, a battery of the factory type goes in on the spot.
Introduce it to the car
The service manual follows a new battery with Service Mode steps, Change Battery Type and Learn New Battery, and we explain at booking how they are handled.
Low Voltage Battery Work Without a Service Centre Trip
When a Tesla flags a worn low voltage battery, its own alert text says service can be booked through the Tesla app or with an independent service provider that offers low voltage battery replacement. Until the battery is replaced, software updates will not complete.
That is the job we do: Tesla battery replacement on the low voltage side, tested first, in your driveway, building basement or workplace car park.
Boosting a Tesla the Way Its Manual Describes
Tesla's manuals say a Model 3, Model Y or Model S cannot be used to jump start another vehicle, and that doing so can cause damage. To receive a boost, the Model 3 manual assumes a portable jump starter:
Open the hood and remove the maintenance panel
Remove the red cover from the positive (+) jump post
Red lead to the red positive (+) jump post
Black lead to the bolt next to the brake fluid reservoir
With another car as the donor, Tesla points to that car maker's instructions

Why Battery Change Dubai
A Model Y With No Power at All
With the low voltage battery completely flat, the front trunk will not open from the touchscreen, key or app. The Model Y manual gives a way in.
Behind the tow eye cover
Two wires, red and black, sit behind the tow eye cover. A portable jump starter connected to them releases the hood latches.
Opening only
Those terminals do not charge the low voltage battery, and Tesla says not to leave the cables on for more than 30 seconds.
Then the battery
With the front trunk open, the low voltage battery can be reached and tested, then swapped if it has failed.

Tesla Low Voltage Battery FAQs
The 2017 to 2023 Model 3 and 2020 to 2024 Model Y manuals point to Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Information on the touchscreen. As a rule of thumb, Tesla dates the lithium-ion battery to Shanghai builds after about October 2021 and Fremont builds after about December 2021.
It is the alert "Schedule service to replace low voltage battery" in the Model 3 and Model Y manuals. The low voltage battery is showing degraded performance and needs replacing, and until it is replaced, software updates will not complete. The Model S manual uses VCBATT_a182 for the same message.
Tesla's alert text says service can be booked through the Tesla app or with an independent service provider that offers low voltage battery replacement, with options varying by car and location. We test it and fit the new one at the car, and explain the Service Mode steps at booking.
No. Tesla's Model 3 manual warns that it cannot be used to jump start another vehicle and that doing so can result in damage. The Model Y and Model S manuals say the same. If a friend's car is flat, a jumpstart visit or a portable booster is the safe answer.
The Model Y manual uses a portable jump starter on the red and black wires behind the tow eye cover, which only releases the hood latches and does not charge the battery. Tesla says to keep the cables on no longer than 30 seconds. Our technician can do this on site.
A low voltage battery from us starts at AED 175 including fitting, and the exact figure for your Tesla's battery type is confirmed on the phone before the visit. The visit itself costs nothing, testing is free, and the battery carries our 1-year warranty.
