12 Volt Model S Battery

Service & Install โ€” Early in the Model S program we identified durability and fitment gaps in the OEM 12ย VDC battery (C&D 33ย Ah AGM). Our engineering team designed a direct-fit replacement that delivers longer service life and stronger performance while matching Teslaโ€™s 180ยฐ reversed post orientationโ€”which eliminates generic local auto-parts store options.

We sell and ship this battery nationwide, maintaining a large inventory in a climate-controlled warehouse, and offer local installation that preserves vehicle settings. Each replacement includes a memory-safe swap, BMS wake/sleep validation, and a final 12ย V health report. Core return and certified recycling supported.

Tesla Model S โ€” 12-Volt Auxiliary Battery (Reverse-Terminal, EV-Tuned)

Designed specifically for the Tesla Model S, this 12-volt battery is engineered for the unique duty cycle of an EV which include frequent micro-cycles, constant float/charge maintenance, and 24ร—7 vehicle systems support. Our design team analyzed Tesla charge behavior and accessory loads to build a pack optimized for long life under continuous standby service.

Fitment Warning: Not just any 12-V will work. Most aftermarket units in this size use a standard terminal orientation and will not fit the Model S. This unit has the correct reverse terminal configuration and case geometry for proper cable reach and tray clearance.
Why itโ€™s better for Model S
  • Engineered for constant charge โ€” Optimized plates and electrolyte for float service with frequent wake events.
  • Reverse terminals โ€” Correct post layout ensures clean, strain-free cable routing.
  • Long service life โ€” EV-tuned formulation resists sulfation from micro-cycling.
  • Drop-in fit โ€” Case dimensions match the Model S battery tray and hold-down points.
  • Lab-tested โ€” Each battery is load-tested and shipped at proper storage SOC.
