Does Acura cover battery replacement?
Yes, Acura does cover battery replacement for its vehicles under certain conditions. The details of Acura's battery coverage vary depending on the specific model and age of the vehicle.
Acura Battery Warranty Coverage
Acura provides a limited warranty on the battery in its vehicles. The standard battery warranty coverage is as follows:
- New Acura vehicles come with a 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty on the battery.
- Certified Pre-Owned Acura vehicles come with a 6-year/unlimited-mile limited warranty on the battery.
- The battery warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship, but does not cover normal wear and tear or battery replacement due to age or usage.
If the battery in an Acura vehicle fails due to a defect covered by the warranty, Acura dealers will replace the battery free of charge.
Battery Replacement Outside of Warranty
If an Acura vehicle's battery needs to be replaced outside of the warranty period, the cost of the replacement battery and labor will be the responsibility of the vehicle owner. Acura does not provide free battery replacement for batteries that have reached the end of their useful life due to normal wear and tear.
The cost of an Acura battery replacement can vary depending on the specific model, but generally ranges from $150 to $300 for the battery itself, plus labor costs. Acura recommends having the battery replaced by an authorized Acura dealer or service center to ensure proper installation and compatibility.
