Any car requires battery power to start its engine. A car battery also stabilizes, filters, and provides the necessary ignition power. It delivers the electricity required to power your vehicle’s electrical components.
A car battery can be considered the heart of the vehicle. If your battery dies, it will not start, and you will need to find a battery replacement service to get you moving again.
A battery replacement service is the process of replacing an old or damaged battery with a new one. Vehicle batteries typically last between 3 to 5 years, depending on usage and maintenance, after which they start to lose their capacity to hold a charge. When this happens, it’s time to replace the battery.
These services involve removing the old battery, testing the charging system, and installing a new battery that meets the vehicle’s specifications. It’s important to use a battery appropriate for the vehicle to ensure proper performance and avoid damage.
A standard car battery can last about four weeks without being driven. Before you leave your vehicle for that long, remember that the actual time will vary depending on the age of your vehicle and battery. Extremely hot temperatures can shorten this time frame, making it critical to start and drive your vehicle regularly if you live somewhere warm.
Lead sulphate crystals, which naturally form in lead-acid car batteries, are the leading cause of dead batteries due to inactivity.
When you bring your vehicle to Superior Tire & Auto for a battery replacement service, our technicians follow a thorough process to ensure your new battery is properly installed and functioning.
First, the technician will evaluate your battery to determine if it needs to be replaced. This may involve a visual inspection, a battery load test, and checking the charging system. If your battery is found to be faulty, the technician will help you select a new battery that is appropriate for your vehicle. Superior Tire & Auto offers a range of high-quality batteries that meet or exceed your vehicle’s original specifications.
Once you have selected a new battery, the technician will remove the old battery from your vehicle. This will involve disconnecting the battery cables, removing the hold-down bracket, and carefully lifting the battery from your vehicle. The technician will then install the new battery in your vehicle, which includes placing the battery in the battery tray, connecting the battery cables, and securing the hold-down bracket.
After the new battery is installed, the technician will test the charging system to ensure that the new battery is charging properly. This may involve a diagnostic tool to check the battery’s voltage and the alternator’s output. In addition to the battery replacement service, the technician may perform additional checks and maintenance tasks, such as cleaning the battery terminals and inspecting the battery cables to ensure they are in good condition.
