Do You Have Questions About Your Battery?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a battery that won’t work. If you’re dealing with battery issues, then you probably have more than a few questions. We aim to answer as many of them as we can. If you can’t seem to find the answer that you’re looking for, then you’re always welcome to visit us at Premier Autos of Dallas.
If your battery seems to constantly die over and over again, then there has to be a reason that it can’t hold a charge. Your battery could simply be too old, or you might be dealing with some form of corrosion. Alternatively, you could be the thing that’s killing your battery. If you accidentally leave something on, like your headlights, then your battery is going to slowly be drained overnight.
The main culprit is usually age. Batteries don’t last forever, so after a few years, you’re eventually going to need to replace yours. We can test your battery with a voltmeter once you arrive at Premier Autos of Dallas, so you’ll know how well it’s holding up. If age isn’t the issue, then corrosion probably is. We can clean up your battery for you once you visit our lot.
Your battery is a huge part of your electrical system, but it isn’t the only part. Your alternator constantly generates power as you drive, which is where your battery gets its electricity from. If your alternator is damaged, then it’s going to cause your battery to constantly die, as it won’t be getting recharged when you’re on the road. If your car isn’t starting, and your battery and alternator are fine, then the culprit is probably your starter. Our mechanics can inspect your entire electrical system for you, so you’ll know which part is giving you trouble.
While there are a lot of things that can affect the lifespan of your battery, new batteries will generally last somewhere between three and five years. This means that if you do end up replacing your battery, you shouldn’t have to worry about needing another one for a long time.
If your battery is dealing with parasitic draw, then it’s going to die over and over again until the issue is addressed. Parasitic draw happens when your car continues to pull electricity from your battery even when the vehicle is turned off. There’s nothing to power, but your battery is still being drained anyway. This can shorten the lifespan of your battery, and it can lead to your car dying on a consistent basis. Luckily, we can test for parasitic draw at Premier Autos of Dallas.
If you know that your battery is on its last leg, then you could be playing a dangerous game by driving your vehicle. While your alternator should still be charging your battery, there’s no guarantee that your battery will be able to store that power like it used to. This means that you could be left stranded in your driveway or some random parking lot. If you want your vehicle to be reliable, then it’s important to occasionally check on your battery.
