What type of battery is in the 2017 Volvo S60?

  • The 2017 Volvo S60 typically uses a 12-volt battery; many units are fitted with an AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) type for improved durability and electronic compatibility.
  • AGM batteries provide stable voltage for modern charging systems and electronic modules, reducing the chance of faults and ensuring consistent performance.
  • Park Place Volvo stocks OEM-recommended batteries and will verify the exact specification for your vehicle prior to installation.
  • Using OEM or equivalent recommended battery types protects complex electronics and often results in lower overall maintenance costs compared with cheaper, incompatible alternatives.

What size battery is in the 2017 Volvo S60?

  • Commonly the 2017 Volvo S60 uses a group size equivalent to Group 48 (H6), but fitment can vary by factory options and regional specifications.
  • Cold cranking amps and reserve capacity requirements should match the manufacturer’s specification; Park Place Volvo confirms the exact group and rating for your vehicle before replacing the battery.
  • Installing the correct size and rated battery ensures proper mounting, correct terminal locations and compatibility with the vehicle’s battery management system.
  • For precise sizing and fitment, schedule a battery inspection at our service center so we can recommend the correct OEM or approved replacement.

2017 Volvo S60 Battery Price

Understanding the true cost of a replacement battery starts with recognizing immediate and long-term value. At Park Place Volvo, we focus on total cost of ownership for your 2017 Volvo S60 rather than a lowest-upfront price that can lead to later expenses. OEM-recommended batteries and factory-calibrated installation reduce the risk of premature failure, electrical faults or damage to sensitive modules—issues that generate repeat service and unexpected costs. Our pricing often comes in below independent shops after you account for diagnostic accuracy, parts quality and the reduced likelihood of follow-up repairs. We also provide transparent breakdowns so you know what you’re paying for: battery, installation, system registration and any necessary diagnostics. Choosing a certified dealership means warranty-covered repairs remain valid and are performed to factory standards; this protects long-term value and keeps potential warranty claims intact. For customers who drive modern Volvos, the right battery installed by factory-trained technicians delivers both immediate reliability and measurable savings over time, because it avoids the cascade of problems sometimes triggered by incorrect batteries.

2017 Volvo S60 Battery Replacement

Battery replacement for a 2017 Volvo S60 is more than swapping a cell; it’s a controlled service that ensures the vehicle’s electrical architecture continues to function as designed. Routine checks identify early signs of degradation—reduced capacity, slow cranking or charging irregularities—so replacements can be scheduled before breakdowns occur. Our technicians run comprehensive diagnostics that include load testing, charging system inspection and battery management verification. If a replacement is needed, we fit the OEM-recommended unit and complete necessary software registrations so the car’s energy management system recognizes the new battery. This prevents warning lights, erratic charging behavior or reduced accessory performance. Choosing Park Place Volvo for the replacement means factory-trained staff perform the work with OEM parts and factory tools, maintaining warranty eligibility and maximizing long-term reliability. Because we catch problems early and use proper parts, customers avoid repeat visits and benefit from lower total maintenance costs. Fast, accurate service and correct installations translate to fewer surprises on the road and peace of mind for owners who expect premium performance from their 2017 Volvo S60.

2017 Volvo S60 Battery Type

Modern luxury vehicles like the 2017 Volvo S60 commonly require advanced battery technology to meet electrical demands, and selecting the right type is essential. AGM batteries, often the factory recommendation, offer superior deep-cycle performance, improved vibration resistance and more stable voltage compared with conventional flooded batteries—qualities that protect sensitive electronics and support advanced start-stop or energy-management features. Park Place Volvo stocks OEM-specified battery types and verifies compatibility with your vehicle’s on-board systems before installation. Using the correct battery type prevents unintended electrical issues, reduces the chance of diagnostic confusion and preserves the longevity of other components tied to the charging system. Our factory-trained technicians explain the technical differences in plain language and recommend the battery that best matches your driving profile and climate conditions. This technical accuracy leads to better long-term performance and fewer service events—delivering real savings and reliability benefits that generic replacements cannot match.

2017 Volvo S60 Battery Size

Proper battery sizing is critical for fitment, safety and electrical performance in a 2017 Volvo S60. Physical dimensions, terminal orientation and electrical ratings (cold cranking amps and reserve capacity) must match the manufacturer specifications so the battery secures correctly and interfaces properly with the vehicle’s wiring and battery management system. Installing a mismatched size or lower-rated battery can lead to poor mounting, terminal stress or electrical strain that shortens component life. At Park Place Volvo, we verify the exact group size and rating required for each vehicle before recommending a replacement. This avoids common pitfalls such as reduced starting power in cold weather, poor accessory performance or frequent charging cycles that degrade the battery prematurely. Our team ensures the replacement battery meets Volvo’s standards and is installed with proper hold-downs and terminal protection. That attention to detail preserves safety, reduces long-term repair costs and keeps the vehicle performing as intended by the factory engineers.

2017 Volvo S60 Battery Warranty

Warranty coverage for a battery is a crucial element in the overall ownership experience of a 2017 Volvo S60. Genuine OEM batteries installed at a certified dealership carry manufacturer-backed warranties and often include prorated coverage that protects you against early failures. Importantly, repairs or replacements that fall under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid—this ensures authorized parts and factory procedures are used. Choosing Park Place Volvo preserves these protections and gives you access to trained technicians who document and process warranty claims efficiently. Beyond warranty terms, our service includes pre-installation diagnostics and post-installation verification, lowering the risk of premature warranty claims by ensuring the underlying issues (such as charging system faults) are resolved. That means fewer out-of-pocket expenses and a smoother ownership experience. For customers focused on minimizing total cost of ownership, factory warranty coverage combined with professional installation provides measurable value and long-term peace of mind.
