How Often Should I Get My Battery Checked?

There is a timeline that should be followed to make sure that your battery is performing in an optimal manner. If you ignore this timetable, your battery might degrade far beyond its threshold, causing you to shell out some extra cash for a replacement. There are a few key factors that should be considered when it comes to your motivator’s erosion, like the weather. With the extreme cold and brutal heat that we experience seasonally in Canada, your wear and tear might cause you to swing by more often. Also, if you are the type of person that likes to make multiple trips throughout the day, then you will have to get your battery checked more often. That is because instead of tapping into its power once or twice per day, you are using it more often. With all things considered, we suggest pulling into our service bay twice per year.

Warning Signs

There are a few red flags to be aware of that will let you know that you are in need of a battery replacement. If you ignore these signals, then you might get stuck at work, leaving you to call for a tow. For starters, if you have had to reach out to a friend for a jumpstart, then that is the most obvious sign that your battery is no longer maintaining its charge. Another thing to be aware of is if you engine starts to sputter when you turn your key in the ignition. This is your battery directly letting you know that it can’t muster up a sufficient charge to get your entire system started up. We always suggest taking a peek beneath the hood yourself to see how everything looks. If you notice a swollen battery casing, then you need to give us a call to schedule a date and time to stop by.
