2019–2025 Ram 1500 Battery Size (BCI Group and CCA)

Which Ram 1500 model years does this cover?

These battery specifications apply to every Ram 1500 built from 2019 through 2025 — the DT (5th generation), full-size half-ton pickup (quad, crew cab). Nothing in this specification changes between those model years. Pick your year for the engines it offered, what changed that year, and the problems recorded against it.

What size battery does a 2019–2025 Ram 1500 take?

BCI group H7 (94R / LN4), rated at 730 cold cranking amps from the factory. Group size is a physical dimension and terminal-position standard, so a battery from a different group may not clamp down or may put the terminals on the wrong side.

How many CCA does a 2019–2025 Ram 1500 need?

At least 730 CCA. Going higher is harmless and helps in cold climates; going lower is how a vehicle that started fine in October stops starting in January.

Does the 2019–2025 Ram 1500 need an AGM battery?

The factory battery is a conventional flooded type. AGM is a valid upgrade, but never downgrade from AGM to flooded.

Where is the battery on a 2019–2025 Ram 1500?

Engine bay, driver side.

Does a 2019–2025 Ram 1500 need the battery registered after replacement?

Non-eTorque trucks ship with a flooded H7 (~730 CCA). eTorque trucks pair an H7 AGM 12V under the hood with a separate air-cooled 48V lithium-ion pack on the cab's rear wall, the 48V pack is not owner-serviceable, and the 12V should be replaced with AGM on eTorque trucks. 800–850 CCA H7 replacements are common upgrades.
