Replacement Battery Packs for Your Model 3/Y

Recell offers a complete line of refurbished battery pack options for your Model 3/Y - from our most popular battery pack option, the SR+ to the longer-range LR+.

Our refurbished battery packs use only genuine Tesla parts and are based on original Model 3/Y battery modules developed by Tesla.

Each of our refurbished battery packs go through a rigorous inspection, certification and testing process. Out-of-date or failure-prone components that don’t meet manufacturer spec are replaced with performance-class components. Precision cell matching using the latest Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and our AI-based diagnostic technologies ensure exceptional performance and reliability.

A refurbished battery pack from Recell saves thousands of dollars, with savings up to 60% compared to a replacement battery pack from Tesla with payback in as little as 18 months.

We also offer an optional extended warranty program on all our battery packs, good for 2 years or 24,000 miles.  In the event of a battery pack failure, a full battery pack or hardware replacement will be provided by the nearest Recell Service Center.

Why Do You Do This?

Our goal is simple: to get your car back on the road for thousands less. We've built our business around supporting out-of-warranty Tesla's and have logged thousands of hours working on Tesla battery packs - we know them inside out. Too often we see owners of out-of-warranty Tesla's facing huge bills if something happens to their battery pack – by now, most of us have seen the viral video of the guy in Finland blowing up his Tesla after they handed him a $20,000 estimate for a replacement battery pack... Ouch! We don’t want that for anybody. It’s not good for the planet and it’s not good for the electric vehicle industry. Instead, our goal is to get your car back on the road for thousands less!

Do You Offer Pack Upgrades?

We wish the answer were different, but unless you're battery pack has malfunctioned or no longer working, the short answer is no. 

While a pack upgrade sounds compelling, it isn't very cost effective, especially if your current battery pack is still working. Longer range packs with greater capacity need to be sourced individually, and that usually means from a salvage car that may have been in an accident or written off by an insurance company. And even from a salvage yard, long range packs are still very expensive - for what still amounts to a used battery pack...

When all is said and done, it's usually far more cost effective to continue using your existing battery pack until it reaches the end of its useful life and then have it either refurbished by Recell or get a new replacement battery pack direct from Tesla.

How Do You Repair A Battery Pack?  Do You Just Swap Out the Defective Battery Module, Close It Back Up And Call It Done?

No. Unlike repair shops, we do not swap out or replace individual battery modules. In fact, we don't 'repair' battery packs, we offer certified refurbished battery packs - the battery modules in all our refurbished packs have been sitting side-by-side, undamaged and untouched, in the same battery case that they left the factory in. There's no module swapping. And each of our refurbished battery packs goes through rigorous testing and quality control.

Do You Use Salvage Cars for Battery Packs Replacements?  

No, we generally avoid salvage cars that may have been in an accident or written off by an insurance company. The battery modules inside all our refurbished battery packs have been sitting side-by-side, undamaged and untouched, in the same battery case that they left the factory in. The only time we offer a salvage pack to a customer is if they need a specific battery configuration that is not yet available out of warranty.

Do I Get A Credit For My Existing Battery?

Yes! The credit for your existing battery pack is already included in the price of our refurbished battery packs.  And better yet, our refurbished battery packs are the same price no matter how old or how many miles your battery pack has on it.

If You Replace the Parts In My Battery Pack, What Are You Replacing Them With?

We offer only fully tested and certified battery packs, and we only use genuine Tesla parts in all our refurbished battery packs. And unlike a repair shop, we do not swap out or replace individual battery modules - the battery modules in all our refurbished packs have been sitting side-by-side, undamaged and untouched, in the same battery case that they left the factory in. There's no module swapping, not ever.

My Model 3/Y Has Over 150,000 Miles On It. Can I Still Get It Refurbished?

If for some reason your battery pack can’t be certified, we will work with you to come up with the best solution to get your car back on the road as soon as possible – after all, getting your car back on the road is our mission!

I'm Having a Problem with My Battery Pack. What Do I Do?

How Long Does It Take to Have a Battery Replaced?

Servicing times can vary, but once your vehicle is at a Recell Service Center, turnaround time generally ranges from a few days to a week, depending on the exact issue and current workload at our Service Center. If it’s a straightforward rebuild, you can be back on the road in no time, often the next day!

Can I Just Buy a Battery Pack From You and Have Another Shop Install It?

Practically speaking, it’s just easier (and safer!) to ship your Model S/X instead of just the battery – high voltage battery packs are heavy, cumbersome and can be easily damaged or become unsafe if not handled properly. More importantly, all service, including installation, performed on a Recell battery pack MUST be performed at a Recall Service Center.

Where Can My Vehicle Be Serviced? Can't I Have Another Shop Replace the Battery Pack?

All warranty service performed MUST be performed at a Recell Service Center. Unfortunately, there are NO exceptions. Recell is not responsible for any costs associated with servicing at a third-party facility and ALL services on a Recell battery pack MUST be performed at a Recell Service Center.

Will the Entire Vehicle Be Needed for Warranty Service? Can’t I Just Ship You the Battery Pack?

Practically speaking, it’s just easier (and safer!) to ship your Model S/X instead of just the battery – high voltage battery packs are heavy, cumbersome and can be easily damaged or become unsafe if not handled properly.  More importantly, we require the entire vehicle present at a Recell Service Center in order to certify the battery. Unfortunately, there are NO exceptions. Removal of the battery pack at any other location other than a Recell Service Center, including a Tesla Service Center, voids the battery pack warranty.

I Live in Canada, Can I Still Purchase a Certified Battery Pack from Re/cell?

Yes! We offer refurbished battery packs for both Canada and Mexico as well.

With a Remanufactured Battery Pack, Do I Need to Sign Any Waivers?

No. Not. Ever.  We never require a waiver and anyone asking you to sign one should make you pause.  Our approach is very clear, we focus on reliability, safety and serviceability, using 100% OEM software.  No roots, no hacks, not ever.

What Information Do You Collect, and Do You Require a Remote Monitoring Device to Be Installed?

We only collect information about the battery pack when it’s at one of our Service Centers, and even then, we only collect the information that we need on file to support our certification – like how many miles are on the battery pack, how many times it’s been charged and how much, the date it was put back into service, etc., etc. There are NO remote monitoring devices, NO communication whatsoever with your battery or your vehicle once it leaves one of our Service Centers. We have no way of collecting any additional information on the battery pack, you, or your car. That’s intentional. Your personal information is yours and yours alone, we have no interest in anyone’s personal information.

Do You Sell My Email or Personal Information to Other Companies?

Nope. Not. Ever.
