When Do I Need Battery Replacement?
The indicators are usually quite clear when you need a new battery. The most common would be the battery light coming on in your instrument panel or your car routinely having a hard time starting up. This generally means it doesn't have enough power to start, or the power is waning. It's better to get that taken care of at the first signs instead of hoping it will start. You don't want to be left in a situation where the car won't start, particularly in bad weather if you're not near roadside services.
Some other indicators a battery is showing signs of wear or needs replacement include corroded terminals, which can directly impact battery performance. You can ask our team to clean off terminals during battery checks and services. Another sign is if your exterior vehicle lights aren't bright enough, even after a recent replacement, that the battery needs to be replaced.
How Long Do Car Batteries Last?
A question we're often asked is how long a car battery will last. There's never one straight answer because it depends on multiple factors. Generally, however, every three to five years is the standard, but with the right care, many can extend their car battery's life to go longer. It depends greatly on your usage, service, and sometimes even where you store your vehicle. A vehicle less exposed to the harsh changes in weather, be it cold or heat, can do well under the right circumstances. Either way, whenever you bring your vehicle in for service at our dealership for any vehicle need, we can perform a multi-point inspection which checks your battery levels and will let you know its condition.
