Your car battery is often an afterthought. It’s always there and does its job until it quits. To avoid the end of your battery’s life arriving at a most inconvenient time – in a cold parking lot or on a dusty trail on a hot summer day, keeping an eye on the battery through routine checks is essential. At Stephen Wade Chevrolet, we are here to help with your battery replacement when needed and to test your battery at regular visits to let you know when its useful life is ending.
Car battery replacement is a relatively basic process of unhooking the existing battery from the car’s electrical system, removing the old battery, and placing the new battery in your vehicle. It’s easy to find a car battery near me for our St. George residents and to schedule a quick replacement with Stephen Wade Chevrolet. We will install the highest quality battery your Chevrolet needs.
Car battery power is measured in cold cranking amps. This measurement defines your vehicle’s ability to fire up when the weather is cold. If you ignore the warning signs of a depleting battery, such as hesitant starts, it can die all at one time and leave you stranded. Batteries may also need to be replaced if they are damaged or suffer from extreme corrosion.
The general active life of a car battery is 2.5 to 3 years, but individual results may vary. The best practice is to have your battery checked regularly at a vehicle inspection and to pay attention to performance. A battery typically lets you know it’s going bad. A battery slowly draining may take longer to start your car when you turn the key or even require a couple of cranks. When this occurs, you only have a limited amount of time to score a replacement, so make an appointment online immediately or call our dealership.
