QUICK ANSWER
800Battery replaces car batteries at your location anywhere in Dubai, 24 hours a day. A technician tests the old battery and the charging system first, fits a genuine battery matched to your car, registers it with the car where required, and takes the old battery away for recycling. Installation, the battery check and disposal are included in the price, and every battery carries a warranty of up to 24 months depending on the brand.

What happens when you call
A battery swap is a short job when the right battery turns up the first time. Most of what we do is making sure it does.
- 1You call or WhatsApp with your location and your car's make, model and year. A photo of the old battery's label helps if you can reach it.
- 2We confirm the battery type, the price and the warranty before the van leaves, so there is nothing to negotiate at the car.
- 3The technician tests the existing battery and the charging system. If the battery is healthy and something else is at fault, we tell you.
- 4The new battery goes in with the terminals cleaned and the clamp secured. A memory keeper holds your radio and settings where the car allows it.
- 5On cars with a battery management system, the new battery is registered so the car charges it correctly.
- 6We start the car, check the charging voltage, send your digital warranty card and take the old battery away.
We test before we sell
A car that will not start is not always a dead battery. A failing alternator, a loose terminal or a parasitic drain will flatten a perfectly good battery, and a new one will go the same way within weeks. That is why every call-out starts with a free battery and charging test.
If the battery is simply discharged, for example after the car sat through a long trip abroad, a jump start and a proper drive may be all it needs. We would rather tell you that than sell you a battery.
Getting the right battery for your car
Three things have to match: the physical size and terminal layout, the capacity and cranking power the car was designed for, and the technology. The last one matters most on modern cars.
| Your car | Battery it needs | Why |
|---|---|---|
| No start-stop system | Standard flooded or calcium | Conventional charging, modest electrical load |
| Entry-level start-stop | EFB, or AGM as an upgrade | Restarts the engine many times per trip |
| Start-stop with energy recovery, most premium cars | AGM only | The car's charging strategy is built around AGM |
| Hybrid or EV (12V system) | The maker's specified 12V battery | Often a compact AGM in the boot or cabin |
The rule to remember: a car that left the factory with an AGM battery must get an AGM battery back. Our AGM and start-stop battery service covers this in detail, and the battery type comparison explains the differences.
What it costs
Price depends mainly on the battery type and size your car needs. These are our ranges by battery type:
| Battery Type | Price | Warranty | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Lead-Acid | AED 250 – 450 | 12 Months | Sedans & hatchbacks (Corolla, Civic, Sunny) |
| Calcium | AED 300 – 500 | 12–18 Months | Daily drivers in hot climates, low maintenance |
| EFB | AED 450 – 700 | 18 Months | Entry-level start-stop vehicles |
| AGM | AED 650 – 1,200 | 18–24 Months | Start-stop & premium cars (BMW, Mercedes, Range Rover) |
| Gel | AED 800 – 1,400 | 24 Months | 4x4s, off-road & deep-cycle use |
| Lithium-Ion | AED 1,500 – 3,000 | 24 Months | Performance, luxury & hybrid vehicles |
All prices include VAT, free installation at your location, free battery check and free old battery disposal.

Where we work
Anywhere the car is standing: villa driveways, office car parks, mall parking, tower basements and the hard shoulder. Basement parking is routine for us: the job needs a technician and a battery, not a recovery truck. See dead battery in basement parking for what to tell us when you call.
We cover every community in the emirate. Find yours on the Dubai areas page for a local arrival estimate.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does a car battery replacement take?
The swap itself is usually a short job once the technician is at the car. Cars with the battery under a seat or in the boot, and cars that need the new battery registered, take a little longer.
Do I need to register or code the new battery?
Many cars with a battery sensor or start-stop system need to be told a new battery has been fitted, including most recent BMW, Mini, Audi, Volkswagen, Land Rover and Ford models. We carry the diagnostic equipment to do this at your location.
Can you replace the battery in a basement or tower car park?
Yes. Tell us the building, the parking level and the bay number, and let security know a technician is coming. The work is done at the car, so nothing needs towing out.
What happens to my old battery?
We take it away at no charge and send it for recycling. Lead-acid batteries are hazardous waste and should never go in general rubbish.
Will I lose my radio presets and settings?
We use a memory keeper during the swap where the car's design allows it, so the clock, radio and seat settings are normally kept.
Can you fit a battery I bought elsewhere?
Yes. We fit customer-supplied batteries too, including cars that need the new battery coded in. Message us the battery details first so we can confirm it suits the car.
