11 common questions answered
How long should a 2017 Ram Promaster Window Van battery last?
Most 2017 Ram Promaster Window Van batteries last 3–5 years.
Commercial duty cycles, frequent short trips, and Colorado’s seasonal temperature swings can shorten real-world life. If you’re approaching the 4-year mark or notice cranking issues, plan a test to avoid downtime. Our Denver service department uses professional testers to verify state of health before recommending replacement.
- Typical life: 3–5 years, sooner with heavy electrical loads

How do I know if my 2017 Ram Promaster Window Van battery is dying?
Watch for 4 clear signs: slow engine crank, dim interior/headlights, a battery/charging warning, and age over 4 years.
Other symptoms include clicking on start, intermittent power to accessories, or the need to jump-start after short stops. Because the Promaster’s electrical load is high, a weak battery can quickly become a no-start. Our Denver team can test the battery and alternator to confirm the source.
- Slow crank or clicking on start
- Battery/charging light on the dash
- Age-based replacement planning at ~4 years
Is it worth replacing a 2017 Ram Promaster Window Van battery at the dealer vs. an auto parts store?
Yes for many owners—the dealer may cost more for the part but includes 4 key items: system diagnostics, OEM-spec battery matching, professional installation, and recycling.
At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver, certified technicians also perform a charging-system check to protect your investment. While parts stores can be cheaper for the battery alone, dealership service reduces comebacks and protects warranty eligibility with documented testing.
- Diagnostic test before replacement
- Correct OEM-spec battery selection and fitment
- Installation, terminal service, and proper disposal
Can I drive a 2017 Ram Promaster Window Van with a bad battery?
Only short local trips are advisable, as a weak battery can leave you stranded without warning.
If your Promaster is hard to start or recently needed a jump, continued driving risks a no-start at your next stop. Short, accessory-heavy trips are especially risky for work vans. Have the battery and alternator tested in Denver before you rely on the vehicle for deliveries or passenger transport.
- Schedule testing: schedule appointment
- Use minimal electrical loads if you must drive
- Plan direct travel to a service facility
