The Battery in a Vehicle Has Four Main Functions:

The primary function is to provide electrical power to start the engine. Engine size or displacement determines the battery capacity in your vehicle. When you insert your key in your car ignition and turn the switch, a signal is sent to the car battery, whereby the car battery converts chemical energy into electrical energy.

The second function is supplying current when the charging system is overworked. The charging system may not be able to keep up with the added accessories that need power, and the battery supplies the additional current to power these components.

Third, the battery acts as a voltage stabilizer for the charging system. The charging system needs help to avoid producing excessive voltage. The battery helps by absorbing the fluctuation in voltage to protect the computer and ignition system from being damaged.

Finally, the battery also powers lights and other components, such as the electric windows and power seats.

When Do I Need to Replace the Car Battery?

Over time, batteries lose their ability to hold a charge, leading to breakdowns and inconveniences. Your battery should be inspected and tested regularly to ensure proper performance, but keep in mind that the typical vehicle battery will last between 3-5 years before you need a replacement battery installed.

Signs I Need a New Battery for My Vehicle

• Engine cranks slowly or struggles to start
• Dashboard warning light for the battery is illuminated
• Corroded or loose battery terminals
• Battery case is swollen or bloated
• Frequent electrical issues (e.g., dim lights, malfunctioning accessories)
• Battery age is over 3-5 years
• Unusual odor (sulfur smell) coming from the battery
• Battery is leaking fluid

If your battery is weak or failing, contact United Tire & Service. We specialize in automotive battery services, including battery tests and replacements.

Battery Maintenance Includes:

• Checking the cables and cable clamps for tightness and overall condition
• Checking the alternator for charging capacity
• Checking the clamps, posts, and cables for corrosion. Corrosion is a fluffy greenish-white deposit that, in some cases, can prevent the battery from receiving or delivering a charge. Anti-corrosion gel solution can prevent these deposits from building up.
