The Telltale Signs
With battery-related issues, it is pretty easy to tell when your battery is malfunctioning. What you may not know is that sometimes the battery acts up to let you know that other issues are occurring in other parts of your vehicle. For that reason, we urge you to see us for car battery service if you are experiencing any problems. What kind of problems? Look out for these telltale signs while operating your car:
- A dashboard light comes on in relation to your battery (the three most common ones are the "Check Battery Light," "Low Battery Acid," and "Slow Engine Crank")
- Your headlights aren't as bright as usual
- Internal lights are dim or won't turn on
- Your vehicle has issues starting
- Your remote lock and unlock buttons won't work
- Your infotainment system is slow to turn on or doesn't turn on at all
These and many other electrical issues usually point to your battery. If you are still unsure whether you need car battery service or not, feel free to give us a call. You can let us know what is going on, and we can let you know whether you should schedule service with us. If you would like to remain precautious, you can always have us check your battery when you see us for brake service or oil changes.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Car Battery Service
How long does a Volvo Cars battery last?
Typically, the average battery life is about four to six years. But it will entirely depend on your usage. Did you recently leave a light on in your vehicle overnight? Do you use your entertainment system without the engine being on? Do you leave your car unoperated for long periods of time? These can all have an effect on the life of your battery. The climate can also have a huge effect on your battery. We recommend testing your battery more often if you live in a warmer climate. If you are confused about how often you should get car battery service, we will happily help you set up a maintenance interval.
How often should you replace your car battery?
Usually every three years or so. However, we highly recommend looking out for the list of telltale signs we listed above. If you experience any of those signs, we recommend scheduling a service appointment with us. You are much better off coming in for battery testing than getting stuck on the side of the road with a car that won't turn on. If you don't see any of those telltale signs, it's probably best to set up a replacement every three years.
