What Should You Expect from Your Battery?

Most batteries go for thousands of miles without service. However, everyday driving conditions — such as climate and driving habits — can affect the life of your battery. If you still have your original battery or feel a sluggish start from time to time, it may be a good idea to come in for battery inspection and testing.

Factors That Can Shorten Your Battery's Life Are:

Lights are left on:

Even if your vehicle starts, the battery may have lost a lot of its reserve power.

Severe Temperatures:

Your battery should be inspected every six months, and in areas of high heat/cold, this becomes even more imperative.

Corrosion or Leakage:

This is likely a sign that your battery is not operating at 100%.
