If you want to go anywhere in your car, you need an excellent battery. The battery in your car is what gives the engine the initial power to get it started. With a dead battery, you will not be going anywhere soon. The automotive experts at Rad Air of Seven Hills know exactly what to look for in your battery. They will identify the age and condition of your battery and whether the battery is holding a charge.
Here are some things to consider when thinking about the battery in your car or truck:
Car batteries last an average of three to five years. The longevity of the battery will depend on the type of driving that you do, whether it is mostly city driving or highway trips. This is critical because your car battery recharges as you drive your car. When you only drive your car on short trips, or do not drive your car for a long period of time, the battery doesn’t have a chance to recharge.
Weather can affect your battery life. During Northeast Ohio’s frigid winter weather, starting a cold engine can take a toll on your battery. If your car seems resistant to starting, you may need a new battery to help get it going.
Corrosion can be a problem. Corrosion can develop on the battery posts, which can prevent the charge from moving efficiently. The automotive technicians at Rad Air can check for corrosion during their battery test and determine if the battery posts can be cleaned or if you need to replace your battery.
Batteries can be replaced quickly. Having your battery tested takes only moments and, if a new battery is required, your battery can be replaced while you wait. The process is simple and fast.
