SUV / 4x4
SUVs like the R1T usually carry a larger-capacity battery than a small car, to turn over a bigger engine and run more electrical equipment. Rear air conditioning, powered tailgates and accessories all add load in summer.

Low-voltage auxiliary battery
The R1T relies on a low-voltage auxiliary battery to wake the car and power its computers. The type varies by model year, so we confirm before attending and tell you honestly if it needs the service centre.
What to know about Rivian batteries
- Recent start-stop models use AGM, and some trucks and SUVs have a second or auxiliary battery.
- Rivian batteries are specified by BCI group size, which fixes the case dimensions and terminal position.

FAQ
Rivian R1T battery questions
Short, direct answers. Message us if yours is not here.
Which battery does the Rivian R1T take?
It depends on the model year and engine. Send both, ideally with a photo of the current battery label, and we confirm the correct size, terminal layout and technology before bringing it.
Can you replace a Rivian R1T battery at my home on Yas Island?
Yes. We fit R1T batteries at accessible homes, apartment parking and hotel or mall car parks on Yas Island. Send your location pin and parking details so we can confirm the visit.
How long does a Rivian R1T battery last in Abu Dhabi?
Heat shortens battery life, so batteries here often need replacing sooner than the three to five years typical elsewhere. Short trips and long periods parked shorten it further. A yearly test tells you where yours stands.
My Rivian has two batteries. Do both need changing?
It depends on how they are connected. Two batteries working in parallel on a diesel truck should be replaced together. A main battery with a small auxiliary one can be dealt with separately. We test each battery on your Rivian and explain the result.
