Don’t Skip Your Car Battery Health Check

European Auto Repair Ann Arbor

Don’t get stranded in the middle of winter with a dead battery! That can be a major inconvenience, disrupting your day or your week. Did you know a regular car battery health check can prevent this frustrating situation? Here's a guide to help you assess your battery's condition:

If you think your battery is beginning to fail, ask yourself the following questions: 

  • Does your engine turn over slowly when you start the car?
  • Are your headlights dim?
  • Do you notice your interior lights dimming?
  • Is your car making a clicking noise when you try to start the car?
  • Does your battery need to be recharged often?
  • Is your battery old? Most car batteries only last 3-5 years, so if your car battery is getting up in age, it may be time to replace it.      

Deeper Battery Testing

For an accurate assessment of your vehicle’s battery health, consider these options:

  • Load test: This measures the battery's performance under load. A load tester simulates the current draw of a starter motor.
  • Conductance test: This advanced test measures the battery's internal resistance, providing insights into its overall health.

Contact us today to perform these battery tests on your car to give you peace of mind.
