While there are certain exceptions, the typical car battery in any vehicle is going to perform for three or four years before it begins to wear down. The responsibility of the battery is to power the various electrical devices within the vehicle which includes everything from the headlights and the starter to the touchscreen and interior lighting.
One of the ways a battery might wear down prematurely is if you leave it running for extended periods of time even when the car is shut off. Forgetting to switch off your headlights or interior lights is a perfect example of draining the battery unnecessarily.
Other instances of the battery wearing out before the typical four-year mark include the battery being exposed to severe weather or regular driving in heavy, bumper-to-bumper style traffic.
Because the battery powers all electrical components within your vehicle, these are the type of components which will begin to malfunction if the battery is providing regular power. Maybe you can’t turn on your headlights, perhaps the vehicle isn’t starting as you press the start button, or maybe the touchscreen display isn’t functioning properly.
You can also pop the hood, where most car batteries are housed, and see what the battery looks like to determine its wear. Batteries which are heavily worn will show signs of corrosion in the form of a blueish-green powder along various terminals.
Swapping out your current car battery for a new one is one of the simplest processes our certified technicians can deliver. If you’re solely coming by for a new battery, the process can be knocked out within a half hour or less.
One of the easiest ways to stay on top of worn parts such as your car battery is to come by the shop for routine inspections once or twice a year. Our team will look over parts such as the car battery and if a replacement is needed, they’ll knock it out quickly for you.
