The 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan comes with a 3.6 liter V6 engine that has a 94R size group battery with 790 cold cranking amps. Signs that indicate the battery needs to be replaced include difficulty starting the car, a sluggish cranking process, and a lack of interior lights or chimes. Other less common symptoms to watch out for are a clicking noise when you try to start the car, needing to press the gas pedal to kickstart the engine, and misfires. If the battery is not charging consistently, it can affect the spark plug firing and the proper functioning of the starter solenoid. In cases where the battery becomes drained or discharged, it could be a result of a faulty alternator. A good battery might lose its effectiveness over time if it is not being sufficiently recharged by the alternator. In such situations, it is recommended to have the battery tested, recharged, and consider replacing the alternator.
In 2016, the Dodge Grand Caravan requires a battery with group size 65 and 850 cold cranking amps (CCA).
