Battery

Batteries are a huge part of modern life, and your car battery is one of the major ones.

When people come into our service center needing a new battery, they’re not excited about having to spend the money. However, the fact is that 70 percent of batteries don’t make it for 4 years.

Most people often take short trips around Delavan with lots of stops for errands. As a result, our batteries can end up not getting fully recharged just by driving around. That also shortens battery life.

Also, running your battery way down is bad for it: Things like running the headlights or watching a DVD player with the car turned off can deeply deplete your battery. The typical battery can only take about 10 of those deep cycle depletions before it gives up the ghost.

You can hook up a good quality automatic battery charger at home from time to time. We recommend charging once a month during hot months and every three months during cold months.

There are some things that you can do to extend the life of your battery.

Keep it Clean – If you see it getting dirty or greasy, let us know and we can clean it off. A dirty battery runs hotter and that shortens its life.
Inspect Battery Terminals – If they are corroded, let us clean those too.
Replace Battery Cables – If the corrosion has gotten into the battery cables, we can replace them.

Now when it’s finally time to get a new battery, we can help you find the right replacement. We’ll always make sure to meet your manufacturer’s recommendations. Now if you have special needs – like live in a very cold climate or run a lot of electrical accessories, we can look at an upgrade that’ll give you the power you need.

DID YOU KNOW?

Car batteries last longer in cold climates than in warm. Cold starts put a greater demand on batteries, but heat is a big factor in car battery life. We can test your battery for how well it holds a charge and to estimate how much life it has left. At Advanced Auto Clinic in Delavan we install quality NAPA replacement parts. Give us a call at 262.728.2944 and let us help keep you safely and economically on the road.
