Car battery

Your car’s battery provides the power to start your car. You might not know that in case of a power surge, it also protects your car’s onboard computer and electronics. And, when the engine isn’t running, the battery lets you use your wipers, lights, sound system, and lights. If your battery isn’t operating properly, neither is your car.

If you need a car battery near Warner Robins, Five Star Ford’s pro techs can test your battery and find out whether it needs to be replaced. They also know which battery is right for your car. They can help you service and select the best battery for your needs.

When Do Batteries Need Replacing?

In Georgia’s humidity and heat, car batteries last somewhere between three and five years. If you don’t drive frequently, your battery could weaken sooner than expected. Batteries in cars that are driven only short distances can also wear out faster than ones in vehicles driven for long distances.

This is how your car battery works: it stores electrical energy that is used to start the engine and power the electrical systems of the car when the engine is not running. It also helps to stabilize the electrical system when the car is running. When the engine is running, the alternator generates electricity to power the car’s electrical systems and recharge the battery.

How will you know when your car battery needs replacing? Some signs the battery is ready to be replaced include slow starts or cranks. If your car dies after a jumpstart, it’s one common sign that the battery should be checked, and may need replacing.

Another sign for a battery check is dash lights that aren’t working properly, along with potential electrical malfunctions. Check engine lights, including the battery symbol, also provide you with a warning to bring your car in to be checked.

Finally, if you open the hood, you could smell the odor of rotten eggs. The unpleasant smell is hydrogen sulfide, a chemical that comes from leaking battery acid. Leaking batteries aren’t safe for your car or you, and should be replaced as soon as possible.
