What type of battery is in a 2014 Dodge Charger?

The most common battery size (also known as group size) recommended for a 2014 Dodge Charger is typically a Group Size H7 (also called L4 or 94R).

However, depending on the specific engine and options package, a Group Size H8 (also called L5 or 49) might also be used or recommended as an alternative/upgrade, especially for models with higher electrical demands (like the V8 HEMI engines).

Here’s a breakdown of what “type” can refer to:

1. Battery Group Size: This defines the physical dimensions, terminal placement, and type.
   • Most Common: H7 / L4 / 94R
   • Possible Alternative/Upgrade: H8 / L5 / 49
2. Battery Chemistry:
   • Standard Flooded Lead-Acid: This was the common type for many vehicles of that era.
   • AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat): These are often recommended as upgrades or for vehicles with higher power needs. They handle deep discharges better, are spill-proof, and generally last longer, but are more expensive. Many modern replacements for this vehicle are AGM.
3. Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): This measures the battery’s ability to start the engine in cold temperatures. For a 2014 Charger, you’ll typically want a battery with a CCA rating between 730 and 850 CCA, depending on the specific group size and engine. 

Important Considerations:

• Engine Size: The V6 (3.6L Pentastar) and the V8 models (5.7L HEMI, 6.4L SRT) might have slightly different requirements or original equipment.
• Location: The battery in this generation of Dodge Charger is usually located in the trunk, under the floor cover on the passenger side.
• Verification: The absolute best way to confirm the correct battery is to:
  • Check the label on your current battery.
  • Consult your owner’s manual.
  • Use an online battery finder tool from an auto parts retailer’s website, entering your specific vehicle details (year, make, model, engine).

In summary, look for a Group H7 (94R) battery, likely with an AGM chemistry and a CCA rating above 730, but always verify against your specific vehicle’s requirements or the existing battery before purchasing.

How many amps do I need for a car battery charger?

As a rule of thumb your battery charger should be 10% – 20% of the Ah rating of the battery. E.g A 100Ah battery would require a 10 Amp charger as a minimum. To prevent overcharging, you should keep the charger size to within 30% of the total capacity.
