Once your car or truck battery has gone dead, it will need replacing soon
Your car and truck battery is the heart of your vehicle.
An automotive battery is a rechargeable battery that supplies electrical current to a motor vehicle. Its main purpose is to feed the starter, which starts the engine, but it also powers the electrical components of your vehicle.
Most cars and trucks operate with a wet-cell battery that has two terminals (either side or top post). These batteries come with the average vehicle but there are specialty batteries called Dry Cell batteries as well.
Automotive Battery Replacement
Batteries normally have a life expectancy of 2-3 years at the most – especially in very cold weather conditions. Ideally, you should replace your battery every 2.5 years (BEFORE problems start to happen).
Here are some indicators that its time for a new battery:
- If your engine is turning over but won’t start
- If your vehicle has no lights, won’t start, and isn’t cranking over
- One minute it starts fine, the next minute it won’t
- You have problems cold cranking
- You’ve jumped your vehicle more than three times in a week
Do yourself a favor and get a new battery – you’ll save yourself a world of headaches!
