Get A Car Battery Near Hot Springs From Riser Ford
The alternator recharges the battery while your car is running, and the battery stores the energy during the times that the engine isn't running. When you start your car, the battery delivers power to the starter.
When your engine isn’t running, your battery can still power your heating and cooling systems, the entertainment system, and headlights. However, if your battery is getting old, it will start to lose its ability to store power and start your car.
If you need a new car battery near Hot Springs, Riser Ford Lincoln’s technicians can provide you with a complimentary computerized battery test. They can let you know if your battery needs service, or if it should be replaced. They can help you to select the best new battery for your car, truck, or SUV.
When Does My Car Battery Need Replacing?
If you have started to wonder if you need a new battery there are a few things you can look out for in addition to the obvious sign that nearly everyone knows: you can’t start the vehicle. If you’ve had to get a jump start, even if your car started again at a later time, you could need a new battery.
Slow cranking or reluctant starts are another sign that your battery is aging and probably needs to be replaced.
Flickering headlights and other electrical system problems can also signal the need for a new battery. If you see a check engine light, including the battery symbol, you should take your car to Riser Ford Lincoln for a complimentary battery diagnostic test.
Blue-green or white build-up of corrosion around battery terminals is another sign of an aging, weakening battery. Check for signs of corrosion or bulging along the side of the battery.
Also, if you smell an unpleasant odor of rotten eggs, your battery is leaking. Battery acid creates hydrogen sulfide gas, which is the source of the rotten egg smell. A leaking battery is a hazardous situation. Battery acid and hydrogen sulfide gas are both toxic and can be very harmful to you and your car. Leaking batteries should be replaced as quickly as possible.
And, if your battery is older than three years, it could be getting to the end of its normal service life. Get a complimentary battery test at Riser Ford Lincoln.
