Your car battery is crucial to maintain the life of your vehicle. It interacts with a lot more parts than you would assume, and can cause some severe harm to those parts too if it's damaged. It can even go to the extent of entirely shutting down your car if it goes flat. A simple car battery replacement service remedies all these issues, and has your car back to optimal performance in no time.

There are a plethora of factors that influence the general health of a car battery. The list ranges from leaving your headlights or internal lights on, to a defective charging mechanism, to a faulty alternator, to loose or worn-out battery cables. General car maintenance advice includes avoiding excessively short drives and routinely getting a car battery change service done. This is particularly useful if you happened to have a bad battery.

If you’re worried about the health of your car battery replace the entire unit. Our team of autoservice experts recommend getting a car battery replacement service done every three to four years. With our extensive car parts network, you can get a manufaturer-approved battery from one of the region's best car battery shops. This would still depend on various factors: the quality of the battery, your driving habits, the weather conditions, and what type of vehicle you own. Most car batteries wear out every three years with normal usage. Since the battery slowly loses health every time the car gets charged up, three to four years is the average lifespan of all car batteries. Stretching beyond this range to six years will give you a completely unreliable battery. This is not recommended since older batteries pose more extensive safety and performance issues that could result in your car breaking down. A tip for owners of new cars with onboard computers would be to use your car more frequently. Even when your car is idle, the battery is being used by all the technological components in your vehicle. To combat this, going for short drives around your neighbourhood helps to allow the battery to recharge.
