What the 2023 Traverse Battery Warranty Covers
What does the 2023 Traverse battery warranty actually cover? This guide breaks it down so you know what to expect when it comes to coverage, out-of-pocket costs, and whether an extended warranty can help.
Understand how long your factory battery coverage lasts and what’s available for other electrical repairs.
You hop in your Traverse, turn the key (or hit the start button) and nothing happens. Dead battery. It’s a common frustration for SUV owners, especially once the vehicle gets a few years old. So what does the 2023 Traverse battery warranty actually cover? And what happens if you run into other electrical issues after the factory warranty ends?
Let’s break it down so you know what to expect when it comes to coverage, out-of-pocket costs, and whether an extended warranty can help.
The 2023 Traverse includes standard coverage for the factory 12-volt battery, but extended warranties like those available from Granger do not cover the battery itself. However, they do provide protection for many related systems like the alternator, starter, and other electrical components.
Coverage Type | Factory Warranty (Chevrolet) | Extended Coverage (Granger) |
12-Volt Battery | 3 years / 36,000 miles (defects only) | Not Covered |
Hybrid Battery | Not applicable – no hybrid version | Not applicable |
Charging System | Yes (under Bumper-to-Bumper) | Yes (alternator, starter, etc.) |
Battery Replacement | Yes, if defective | Not included |
Electrical Repairs | Yes (3/36 Bumper-to-Bumper) | Yes (with extended plan) |
Wear & Tear Coverage | No | Yes (depending on plan) |
Your 2023 Traverse uses a standard 12-volt lead-acid battery. If it fails due to a manufacturer defect within 3 years or 36,000 miles, Chevrolet will replace it, including labor.
What’s not covered:
The 2023 Chevy Traverse is powered exclusively by a gasoline engine. There is no hybrid or electric version currently available, so there’s no high-voltage battery warranty to consider for this model year.
While extended warranties like those offered throughGrangerWarranty.com don’t cover the 12-volt battery itself, they do protect against a wide range of electrical system failures—often long after the factory warranty expires.
Covered electrical components may include:
So if your vehicle won’t start because the starter failed, or if your Traverse develops issues with electronic controls or lighting, those repairs can be covered for up to 8 years or 150,000 miles, depending on your plan.
If you’re looking to extend protection beyond the factory 3-year/36,000-mile warranty, here’s how:
Granger makes it easy to protect your Traverse long-term—especially when it comes to unexpected electrical issues:
No—the battery itself is not covered under extended protection. It’s only covered by the factory warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles.
If the issue is caused by a failed alternator, starter, ignition switch, or other electrical component, that’s likely covered by your extended warranty from Granger.
No—extended warranties from Granger can be used at any licensed repair facility in the U.S.
The battery may not be covered forever—but your Traverse’s electrical system can be. Get an extended plan that covers the cost of critical repairs so you’re not stuck with surprise bills.
