We attend McLarens across Dubai 24/7 for battery tests, jump starts and replacement where the battery type allows it. Many McLarens use a lithium-ion 12 V battery instead of lead-acid, so the first thing we do is confirm exactly what your car has.

A lithium battery has its own management electronics, and replacing one is a job for McLaren diagnostics. On models with a lead-acid battery the change is simpler. We tell you which applies before we come.
Chosen for the case sizes and technology this make uses. Stock is confirmed when you call.
McLarens here are driven occasionally and parked a lot. The electronics keep drawing a small current when the car is locked, and a few weeks without the charger can leave it too low to start. Summer storage makes this common.
The Artura is a plug-in hybrid with a high-voltage pack and a separate 12 V battery. Jump-starting and replacement rules differ from the older V8 cars, so we check the procedure for your car before attending.
Cars such as the 570S and 720S left the factory with a lithium-ion 12 V battery. It needs a lithium-compatible charger and cannot be replaced with a standard lead-acid unit at the roadside. We confirm by model before dispatch.
McLaren supplies a battery charger with the car, and the battery sits at the front under the luggage compartment trim. Plugging in whenever the car will be parked for more than a week avoids most flat-battery calls.
A car that will not start does not always need a new battery. The technician tests first, then does the smallest job that gets you moving.
When it fits: The battery fails the test, will not hold charge, or is swollen or leaking.
When it fits: Lights were left on or the car sat for days, and the battery is otherwise healthy.
When it fits: Slow cranking, a warning light, or a battery that keeps going flat.

Car was dead on P2 of my building at 1 am. I sent the tower name and parking level, they told me which battery the Patrol takes and when the technician would get there. He tested it first, showed me the reading, then fitted the new one.
I was sure I needed a new battery. The technician jump-started the car, tested the battery and the alternator and said the battery was still fine, I had just left the lights on. Did not try to sell me anything.
They asked for the model year before coming and told me the X3 needs an AGM battery and registration. Both were done in the basement of my office. Paid with Tabby.
Took a bit longer than the first estimate because of traffic on Al Ittihad Road, but they called to say so. Battery was changed in the sandy lot behind my building and the old one was taken away.
Friday morning, public holiday, and someone answered on the second ring. Battery was fitted outside my villa before the family was ready to leave. Warranty is written on the invoice.
The dash was showing an auxiliary battery message. They explained on WhatsApp what it meant before sending anyone, which saved me a trip to the dealer.
Often yes, using the correct points and a regulated booster. A lithium battery that has dropped very low can switch itself off to protect its cells, and then a jump will not bring it back. We test first and tell you plainly.
It varies with model, battery age and temperature, but a few weeks without a charger is enough to cause trouble on many cars. If you travel for the summer, leave the car connected to its charger.
Lead-acid sizes for earlier cars are usually available. Lithium units are model-specific and are not always carried on the van. Send us the model and year on WhatsApp and we confirm what we can supply before anyone is dispatched.
Send your location, the McLaren model and its year. We confirm the battery that fits and the estimated arrival time.
