WHEN TO REPLACE YOUR CAR BATTERY?

Keeping a car in optimum working condition requires regular maintenance and careful forecasting as failing to do so could leave you in a vulnerable position and without your vehicle for some time. Here at Battery Central, we are on hand to give professional advice so that you can avoid your car failing at the most inconvenient of times, but should this ever be the case, rest assured our efficient team will replace your battery and get you back on the road safely.

There are many points to consider when estimating the average lifespan of your battery. No device will last forever but the following factors will help give you a rough point in time when your car battery will need replacing.

THE AMOUNT YOUR CAR IS USED

A vehicle that is only used to pop to the store at weekends will be subject to less wear and tear than a car that is used to commute to and from work on a daily basis. The frequency of which you use your vehicle will play a big part in estimating the wear and tear the battery is subject to.

THE AGE OF THE BATTERY

If your car is a few years old and still relies on the battery fitted at the point of manufacture, the chances are it will not have much longer before it needs replacing; avoid the battery failing on your drive as you plan to set off for work by coming straight to our specialist team now.

THE NOISES YOUR CAR MAKES

A clicking noise in the car can be a source of frustration to many drivers, but do not simply turn the radio up and ignore it as your car is giving you a warning signal. The clicking sound can often be a sign that the battery is struggling to provide your vehicle with a sufficient charge and will soon stop working altogether.
