  1. 12V battery replacement AGAIN after ~1.5 years? Normal?

    I’d be curious if there is a relationship between the number of miles driven and battery consumption. I drive between 20-25k a year. i see an awefull lot of low mileage Rivians. My 2023 R1T is on her second battery. The first year it wasn’t driven much
  2. Thule Approach M RTT on R1T

    How long does it take to set up? Curious, it would be great but we often drive to local attractions and the tent is part of the truck.
  3. 2023 G1 R1T - 2nd 12v Battery issue after 14.5 months.

    I wonder if weather plays a role. Cold weather is a lot harder on a battery. I bought my 2023 in late October. According to the service records the battery was replaced April 2025. Been using the truck 200+ miles every weekend skiing the NE. My biggest fear is being bricked up north
  4. Phantom / Vampire Drain Solution Works! Using 12v Battery Tender

    I’m a recent R1T 2023 owner. I bought her last November directly from Rivian. I guess I fall into the nerd category. Can you get information on your vehicle’s sleep from the Rivian app? Searching the app I did find my L2 charging is set for 18amps. Must have been set by Rivian. I have got in...
  5. Is it possible to swap a standard battery with a large pack?

  6. 3rd party wall chargers ok or not?

    I have a Rivian charger at my house and a Tesla Universal at my vacation home. No problems with either. the Tesla is outside and I wish it had a feature to only allow authorized vehicles. It has that feature for authorized Tesla vehicles only.
  7. Sodium 12v replacement batteries coming from Ohmmu for Rivian vehicles

    Mine was replaced last April. It would be interesting to see if the vehicles with higher mileage fair better than those putting 7k miles a year on them. If it spends most of its time sitting in a garage sleeping.
  8. Sodium 12v replacement batteries coming from Ohmmu for Rivian vehicles

    Rivian controls the charging algorithms and I'm sure it's been tweaked for AGM batteries. Not ideal but charging lithium is similar but they cannot be overcharged (their BMS will shut them down). They cannot be charged under a certain temperature so they need to be heated. Look at all the...
  9. Snow Tires - Hakka R5 vs R5 EV?

    My new to me 2023 R1T came with 22ā€ and I bought 20ā€ snows recommended by TireRack. I bought rims too and will alternate each season. No difference in efficiency from the Pirellis. NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA R5 SUV Winter/Snow Tire for SUVs & Trucks in 275/60R20

    I’ve owned 3 F150’s and 3 Ridgelines in the past 40 years. This is the first truck that doesn’t have a handle on the tailgate.

    I’m about to experience my first winter in my new to me 2023 R1T duel max. Got her early Nov. been averaging 2.5 mi/kWh temps in 20-40’s. Rivian gave a 380 mile range. The two times I charged to 100% I saw 390+. We ski in the white mountains and often see overnight temps reaching -20. I will be...
  13. 12V Battery Replacement Megathread

    New to Rivian, just took delivery of a 2023 R1T. There seems to be a lot of threads on dyi battery replacement but not on battery management. I am having a hard time finding any information about Rivianā€˜s charging profile. It appears it is being tweaked with every software update. I might be...

    Just bought a used R1T from the Rivian website on a whim yesterday. Completely new to the EV world and have a lot to learn. Forums are the best for gaining knowledge.
