2019 RAM Truck Battery
Dodge Ram trucks became just RAM trucks back in 2010, so it can sometimes be confusing for people searching for RAM truck batteries, when they start by looking under "Dodge" and don't see any RAM options. For those who came in from a Google search, the answer to your question about the battery on a 2019 RAM truck is pretty staight forward. That truck uses a Group H7, sometimes referred to as a 94R or in the case of OPTIMA's AGM YELLOWTOPs, a DH7.
V6 or V8, gas-powered, flex fuel or hybrid, the battery size for the 2019 RAM trucks remains unchanged. Does a V6 engine really need a big DH7 YELLOWTOP to get the engine turned over? Probably not and if you're looking to save weight, some battery trays allow you to use a smaller, lighter DH6 or DH5 YELLOWTOP. However, the reasons all half ton RAM trucks use the same size battery are pretty simple.
It's cost-effective to run the same size tray in all the trucks and even the big V8s probably don't need the cranking power of a DH7 YELLOWTOP to get started. What all these variations on the half ton RAM trucks have in common, is that they are far more demanding from an electrical standpoint than they were a generation ago. Automakers have responded to this increase in electrical demand with increasingly larger batteries.
Case in point- a 1999 Dodge RAM (back when they were still called Dodges), could start a 5.9-liter V8 all day on a 38-pound REDTOP. Fast forward to the 2019 RAM with the 3.6-liter V6 and it's calling for a 60-lb YELLOWTOP. Whether you need a smaller battery for an older Dodge RAM or a bigger battery for a newer RAM, the key to maximizing battery performance and lifespan is keeping battery voltage properly maintained.
We're so confident this is true, we'll add an additional year of free replacement warranty coverage on your OPTIMA battery, if you purchase an OPTIMA D1200+ battery charger at the same time!
