How long does a 2017 Dodge Charger battery replacement take at a dealership?
Most battery replacements for a 2017 Dodge Charger are completed in about 45 minutes at our service center.
Time depends on test results, whether the vehicle requires relearn procedures for the BCM or radio, and if any corrosion or wiring repairs are needed. High-performance Chargers with additional electronics sometimes require extra verification steps.
- Pre-service battery and charging-system diagnostic
- Battery replacement and terminal cleaning
- Charging-system test and final verification
What size battery does a 2017 Dodge Charger take?
The 2017 Dodge Charger commonly uses an OEM-group battery sized to the vehicle's application (for many V8 Chargers this is a Group 48/H6-style battery rated around 650–750 CCA).
Exact group and CCA depend on engine, factory options, and whether an AGM battery was original equipment for the supercharged 6.2L V8. We verify the correct group and cold-cranking amps before installing an OEM-spec unit.
- Battery group chosen to match engine bay dimensions
- CCA selected for reliable cold starts and accessory load
- OEM-type or AGM fitment confirmed before installation
How long should a 2017 Dodge Charger battery last?
Expect roughly 3–5 years of service life for a battery in a 2017 Dodge Charger under normal conditions.
Local conditions in Albuquerque — including hot summers and wide daily temperature swings — can shorten battery life, especially on performance Chargers with higher electrical draw. Regular charging-system checks and addressing parasitic drains will help reach the upper end of that range.
- Plan checks every 12 months or at major service intervals
- Heat accelerates electrolyte degradation and reduces lifespan
- Short trips and frequent accessory use accelerate wear
How do I know if my 2017 Dodge Charger battery is dying?
Look for slow engine crank, dim or flickering lights, and dashboard battery/charging warnings as primary signs your 2017 Dodge Charger battery may be failing.
Age is also a key indicator — batteries older than four years are more likely to fail. Our technicians run a load test and check charging voltage to determine whether the battery or the charging system is the root cause.
- Slow or labored engine crank at startup
- Dim headlights or interior lights when idling
- Illuminated battery/charging system warning or accessory faults
Is it worth replacing a 2017 Dodge Charger battery at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque vs. an auto parts store?
Replacing a 2017 Dodge Charger battery at the dealer typically includes diagnostic testing, correct OEM/OEM-equivalent fitment, installation, disposal, and documented verification that the charging system is healthy.
Independent stores may sell a lower upfront parts price, but dealer service bundles diagnostic checks and vehicle-specific relearn procedures that often aren’t included elsewhere. Choose the option that matches your needs for documentation, warranty handling, and post-installation support.
- Dealer: diagnostic, installation, disposal, and fitment assurance
- Parts stores: often lower battery price but variable installation scope
- Ask for written warranty and what tests are included before purchase
Can I drive a 2017 Dodge Charger with a bad battery?
You can drive short distances with a weak battery if the alternator is functioning, but a failing battery risks stalling, loss of electrical accessories, and problems restarting; prolonged driving is not recommended.
If the battery is failing but the charging system is charging properly, the vehicle may continue to run, but you risk being stranded if the alternator load increases or the battery drops below the threshold needed for ignition or electronics. Get a diagnostic test to determine next steps.
- Short trips may be possible, but restarting failure is a risk
- Electrical accessories and engine control modules can behave unpredictably
- Schedule a battery and charging-system check to avoid a no-start
What happens during a battery replacement at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque?

Technicians confirm correct battery group and CCA rating, secure the battery, perform alternator and parasitic-drain checks, and verify that vehicle systems operate normally after replacement. You receive the test results and warranty paperwork when you pick up the vehicle.
- Pre-install voltage/load diagnostic and charging-system check
- OEM-spec battery installation, terminal cleaning, and secure mounting
