Car Battery FAQs
If your battery is over a couple years old and doesn't maintain a charge, there's a good chance that it needs to be replaced. If it's already been replaced and keeps dying, there may be an issue with the charging system instead. Extreme temperatures and repeated short drives can be detrimental to your battery's health, which is why we encourage our customers to make an appointment at our service center so that we can make sure you're taken care of.
Symptoms of a bad battery:
- The engine is slow to start
- Car is harder to start when it's cold outside
- There's no sound when you try to start
- The lights on the vehicle are dim or not on at all
- Jumpstarting the battery temporarily resolves the issue
Symptoms of a bad alternator:
- Trouble starting the car
- The car starts but then stalls
- The engine makes a squealing noise
- The car won't start, but the headlights are still working
- Jumpstarting the battery doesn't solve the issue
While a car battery can be recharged, it cannot recharge itself. The alternator is what normally recharges the battery, which only runs when the vehicle is on.
Most car batteries last three to five years before needing to be replaced.
It's possible. Lights take less power to turn on compared to other parts of the vehicle, so your battery may have just enough charge to turn on the lights but not enough to actually start the car.
This could indicate either a dead or a low battery. When your battery is dying, it doesn't have enough power to hold its current contacts in place, causing them to open and close, making a clicking sound. The clicking could also indicate an issue with your starter though, so bring your car to our dealership for an inspection if possible, and we'll figure out what's going on.
