In need of a replacement for your car battery? Over time, your car battery will lose its ability to hold enough charge needed to get your car up and running. This is why it is important to have your battery regularly checked to see how well it holds a charge and replaced before it is completely drained.

On average, the battery in a car lasts around five to seven years. The type of battery your vehicle has, the weather, and how much you drive on a daily basis can all affect the lifespan of the battery. This is why it is important to regularly test the battery to make sure it is still holding the right amount of charge.
Any time you stop by for other routine maintenance, like an oil change or tire rotation, you can also ask to have the battery tested. Our technicians will be happy to quickly check the voltage of your car battery and keep you aware of its condition.
If you don’t have the equipment to test the battery yourself, there are a few signs you can look out for that indicate the battery is becoming weak and will need to be replaced soon.
If your car engine doesn’t start up as fast as possible when you turn over the key or push the ignition button, the battery is starting to fail. You may also notice that the lights are dimmer than usual.
You can also visually pop the hood and get a look at the battery to see if the terminals and cables are worn at all. If there is a large amount of corrosion at these spots, this is also a warning sign of a battery that is becoming old and weak.
Now that you know when to replace your battery, you can stop by for a replacement next time you are in the Port Charlotte area. Our team of experts here at Norm Reeves Honda Superstore Port Charlotte can quickly find and install the proper battery for your car and get you back on your way!
