Every car needs a battery to work. It is what provides the electrical current that starts your engine and powers all the car’s electrical systems. And like most components of your vehicle, batteries eventually wear out and need to be replaced.
At Bob Brady Honda, we offer auto battery service to keep your ride going strong. But we don’t just replace batteries. We also perform several tests to ensure your battery is in good condition and will last for the long haul. More than that, we’re here to make sure you fully understand the process and what you can do to extend your battery’s life.
With that said, we answer some FAQs about auto battery service below:
Most car batteries will last for three to five years. However, this number can still change depending on several factors, such as how much you drive, where you drive, and whether you keep up with regular maintenance. To ensure you’re getting the most out of your battery, we recommend testing it at least once a year.
There are a few telltale signs that your battery is on its last legs. For example, if your car now takes longer to start up, or if the engine cranks more slowly than usual, that’s a sign that your battery is losing its charge. Another indicator is dimming headlights. If they seem weaker than they used to be, it could be due to a weak battery.
Bring your car here for a battery test if you notice any of these signs. We’ll be able to tell you definitively whether your battery needs to be replaced.
If you let your battery die completely, you run the risk of damaging other parts of your car’s electrical system. When your battery loses power, your alternator has to work overtime to try and recharge it. This can put a strain on the alternator, which could lead to more significant problems down the road.
We recommend having your battery tested at least once a year. However, if you notice any signs that your battery is dying, don’t wait. Bring your car in for a test immediately.
