I just got a warning I need to replace 12v battery and made an appointment for next week.
Early 2023 R1S (61K miles) with two batteries.
How much would I be paying?

Thanks!

Just say it sucks that your warranty expired, and the 12v needs to be replaced. They will give you a discount, and you can walk out with around $500 total.

Rivian refused to discount my batteries and wanted to charge full price of $800+. Even after I told them others were getting a discount to $500.

It pissed me off. I got the sodium ohmmu batteries along with battery monitor. I replaced the 12V myself. The sodium batteries are supposed to last 3x longer than the lead acid AGM ones. We’ll see

Does the battery monitor connect to just one of the two batteries or does it monitor both?

I recently took my R1 into the SC for a Rivian-prompted 12V replacement. I asked them how much this would be if I had to pay. They said $400. I also asked about aftermarket and they said you would still need software to calibrate it to the Rivian for battery monitoring. Otherwise you would continually get a pop-up warning in the Rivian. I can’t verify or debunk this but there are others on here that can.

Thank you for all your replies.

It’s sad that I have to do financial planning for a 12v battery. $100 became $10 for sure.
