Batteries
Your battery is the heart of your vehicle. Although it can be easily tested or replaced, battery failure often leaves motorists stranded. In general, a car battery should last about three to four years. We recommend getting your battery checked every six months once it is older than three years.
- Sluggish or hesitant engine cranking on starting
- Dashboard battery warning light
- Intermittent issues with electrical components such as power windows, seats, or sunroofs
- Swollen battery case is generally a sign of internal damage
- Bad smell indicates your battery is venting sulfuric acid which is also a sign of internal damage
Modern cars with start-stop and regenerative braking systems place great demands on batteries, making it critical that the correct battery type is fitted to your vehicle.
- Removal and recycling of the old battery
- Inspection of the battery tray and cable terminals
- Temporary power to maintain the settings of memory based electrical components
While in service, the battery is charged by the vehicle’s alternator. Should the battery become discharged after a long period of non-use, it should be charged using an external intelligent charger to restore its state of charge. We will gladly assist with this at no cost for all batteries purchased from us.
We sell most major battery brands, each with warranties ranging from 18 to 25 months, depending on the brand fitted.
