Abstract: An apparatus and a method for diagnosing battery replacement for vehicles may accurately diagnose whether a battery has been replaced using an internal resistance of the battery. The apparatus includes a measurer for measuring the internal resistance of the battery, a storage for storing the measured internal resistance, and a controller for diagnosing whether the battery has been replaced based on the internal resistance. The controller, when vehicle power is reset, controls the measurer to measure a first or second internal resistance after starting a vehicle, updates and stores the measured first or second internal resistance in the storage, compares a current first internal resistance value with a former first internal resistance value or a current second internal resistance value with a former second internal resistance value, and diagnoses that the battery has been replaced when the corresponding values differ from each other.
