About Auto Batteries

The battery in your car provides the electrical power for a wide variety of functions, from ignition to air conditioning and headlights. It's designed to produce an electrical charge via chemical reactions that are stored within the battery unit itself. Over time, that charge will eventually run out, and you'll need a new unit.

Understanding the Symptoms of a Depleted Battery

There are ways to tell for yourself if it's time to have your car battery replaced. For starters, you may notice diminished functions like a difficult ignition or dim headlamps. Pop the hood and you may notice an unpleasant smell, or bloated battery case. Any of these symptoms can mean that you should have your battery replaced soon.

If you're unsure, bring your vehicle to our trusted technicians for a professional battery assessment. Mechanics can use specialized testing equipment that measures the charge level. Your technician can advise you on when to replace the unit based on this reading.
