Dodge Durango Battery

Supporting the V8 engine, three-row seats and impressive towing capacity in this powerful people mover is a powerful battery (or two, in some models.)

Starting in 2011, the Dodge Durango made the switch from a BCI group size 65 to DIN battery sizes 94R/H7 or 48/H6 if it’s a start-stop model between 2016-2021. Also, since 2011, the Dodge Durango battery is located under the front passenger seat. That means, among other things, you should make sure you attach a vent hose whenever replacing a battery on a Dodge Durango.

Which Dodge Durango requires two batteries? Durangos with start-stop engines from model years 2017-2021 require an auxiliary battery, the MTX-AUX14. Why two? The Dodge Durango requires a lot of onboard power, and the auxiliary battery supports the main battery between engine starts.

The Dodge Durango may require 650 to 800 cold cranking amps (CCA), depending on the engine size and whether it comes with a special service package. If your Dodge Durango has a special service package, it will need a 49/H8 battery.

Dodge Durango models from 1998 to 2007 require a group 65 or a 27, depending on options and engine size.
