- Reserve Capacity (RC): A reserve capacity of 130-150 minutes is generally recommended.
- AGM vs. Flooded: The 2017 ProMaster originally came with a flooded lead-acid battery, but AGM batteries are a significant upgrade and highly recommended for their durability and longer lifespan.
- Terminal Layout: Standard top post terminals.
- Physical Dimensions: (H7/94R typical) Approximately 12.4 inches (L) x 6.9 inches (W) x 7.5 inches (H).
- Dual-Battery Setup: The 2017 Ram ProMaster does not typically feature a dual-battery setup for its primary starting battery.
Replacement battery options
When it's time to replace the battery in your 2017 Ram ProMaster, several reliable brands offer suitable options. Remember to prioritize quality and warranty when making your selection. Always double-check the BCI group size to ensure a perfect fit.
- Interstate: Interstate offers several batteries that fit the H7/94R group size. Their MTX-94R/H7 (AGM) or MTP-94R/H7 (flooded) are popular choices.
- Optima: For a premium upgrade, the Optima YellowTop H7 (DS46B24R) is an excellent AGM option, known for its deep cycling capabilities.
- DieHard: DieHard's Platinum AGM H7 or Gold H7 flooded batteries are reliable choices available at many auto parts stores.

AGM vs. flooded — which does this vehicle need?
The 2017 Ram ProMaster originally came equipped with a flooded lead-acid battery from the factory. While a standard flooded battery will work as a direct replacement, an AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery is a superior upgrade for your ProMaster.
AGM batteries offer several advantages:
- Longer Lifespan: They generally last longer than flooded batteries.
- Better Performance: AGMs provide more consistent power output, especially in extreme temperatures.
- Maintenance-Free: No need to check electrolyte levels or add distilled water.
- Vibration Resistant: The absorbed electrolyte makes them more resistant to vibration, which is beneficial for a commercial vehicle.
- Leak-Proof: Reduced risk of acid leaks, which can prevent corrosion around the battery tray.
Given the ProMaster's role, often as a work vehicle with frequent starts and potentially power demands from auxiliary equipment, the benefits of an AGM battery make it a worthwhile investment.
Post-installation relearn / reset procedure
After replacing the battery in your 2017 Ram ProMaster, it's important to perform a few simple steps to ensure all systems are functioning correctly. The ProMaster's electronics may need to relearn certain parameters.
