Battery Care Tips for Your Ram 3500
- Replace both batteries together — even if only one tests bad.
- Trailer brake controllers and HD accessories shorten battery life — inspect annually.
- Cold-cranking the Cummins requires both batteries healthy.
- Inspect terminals seasonally.
- Expected lifespan for HD AGM batteries is 4-6 years.
What's Included in Every Battery at Mahon CDJR
Every battery service at Mahon CDJR starts with a free Mopar battery test that measures voltage, cold cranking amps, and internal resistance. If replacement is needed we use the OEM-spec Mopar battery matched to your Ram 3500 — including AGM batteries for vehicles with auto start-stop or eTorque. We also test your alternator and starter while we're at it.
Note on Pricing: Battery price depends on group size, CCA rating, and whether your Ram 3500 requires an AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery for start-stop or eTorque systems. PHEV models have additional high-voltage battery systems covered by separate warranties. Call (828) 492-2121 for current battery pricing.
