Keeping your car's battery alive and well requires dedication to keeping your vehicle tuned and maintained. It also requires recognizing when your car needs a battery replacement. Battery replacement isn't something that can be scheduled at some predefined time, and there are a number of factors that can alter when you will need a new battery. In order to stay on top of things and not end up stranded with a dead battery, we always recommend regular visits to a certified service center like ours.
At Faricy Chrysler Jeep, our service center can replace any dead or dying battery for you. However, it’s better to catch the problem before it reaches that point. We can also inspect or recharge your battery as well. We take care to ensure that the process is convenient and quick so that you can get in and out of our service center and back on the road as soon as possible. All you have to do is make your way to our dealership, and we can get you sorted out with a proper replacement for your battery.
There are a number of signs to look out for when it comes to needing a new battery. The most important would probably be the vehicle not starting or having difficulty starting. That could mean there are problems with either the alternator, the battery, or both. Typically it means the battery isn't getting enough juice to the engine to start the combustion process and get the vehicle running.
Another sign the battery could be nearing its end is that the vehicle doesn't maintain power. You might notice that the lights flicker and fade, or items like the radio and infotainment suite keep cutting out, or you keep losing power to other electronic components within the vehicle. This means that the battery isn't maintaining its charge via the alternator, and it could signify that it's time to replace the battery. You might also find that the vehicle starts and runs well but then doesn't run for very long before you start losing power to electric components within the vehicle.
Something you might also notice is the battery showing signs of swelling. This is the result of the battery being overcharged, causing gasses to fill up inside the battery case. If the battery is emitting an odd smell or looks visibly distorted, it's time to replace it. Depending on where you drive the vehicle and where it's stored, extreme heat or cold can alter the composition of the battery, which may reduce the battery's overall lifespan and performance. If you notice that the battery's performance has drastically reduced after a few years while driving it in extreme temperatures, it’s time to replace it.
A car's battery provides the vehicle with an electrical current in concert with the alternator. Hence, the battery is necessary for getting the car started and helping to maintain power for the vehicle. More specifically, when you start up your car, truck, or SUV, the battery sends power to the electric starter motor in order to turn over the engine, beginning the combustion process. In short, the battery is basically the starting point for the life force of your ride, feeding it power and getting it started so that you can drive it around and operate the electrical components within the automobile.
Starting a vehicle requires a lot of energy, which is why it's important to have a properly functioning battery. Basically, a car, truck, van, or SUV requires a well-charged battery to operate the starter motor so that it can engage the main engine. If your battery doesn't have enough power or is too old to activate the starter motor, your vehicle won't even start, or you will find it struggling to start. This is why it is essential to have your battery inspected if you notice your car taking longer than normal to start.
The battery also gives your vehicle the electrical power it needs to run all of the vital amenities you favor when it comes to interior comfort and convenience, such as the heat, the power seats, the power windows, the radio, the lights, and the infotainment center. Having a properly functioning battery means you can access all of these amenities and utilize them as you see fit. So the battery provides vital functionality for the vehicle's propulsion and powers the electric components you need when behind the wheel.
There is hope if you have a vehicle with a dead battery or a car where you feel the battery is about to die. Your dead (or near-dead) battery can be recharged to give the vehicle just enough juice to make it to our service center. If your battery completely dies due to being old, drained, or suffering from internal corrosion or extreme temperatures, it's possible to jump-start the vehicle by feeding the battery some power.
It's not uncommon to have a vehicle jump-started by having a second vehicle present using jumper cables. A jump-start feeds the dead battery just enough power to get the starter motor going and the alternator running so that it's possible to make it home or to a service center, like the one we have here at Faricy Chrysler Jeep. It's also possible to recharge a completely dead battery using a traditional battery charger to give it enough juice to get the vehicle to its intended destination.
Now if you don't have access to a charger or any way to jump-start your vehicle, we can recharge the dead battery for you. At Faricy Chrysler Jeep, we have a free pickup and delivery system in place so that you can schedule to have your vehicle delivered to our service center, where we can replace the dead battery for you. This gives you a lot of leeway and convenience when it comes to keeping your vehicle maintained and a healthy battery in place.
