Getting A Car Battery At Five Star Ford Stone Mountain

Your car’s battery provides the power that your starter uses to start your car. You might not know that in case of a power surge, it also protects your car’s onboard computer and electronics. Thanks to your battery, you can still use your windshield wipers, lights, sound system, and information system when your engine isn’t running. If your car battery is aging or worn out, your car won’t start.

If you need a new car battery near Stone Mountain, Five Star Ford’s qualified technicians can test your battery and determine if it needs replacement. They also know which new battery is right for your car. They can help you to service and choose the best battery for your needs.

When Does My Car Battery Need Replacing?

In hot and humid weather like we often have in Stone Mountain, car batteries usually last anywhere from three to five years. The amount of driving you do affects battery life. Batteries can lose effectiveness if you don’t drive very often. You can also experience shorter battery life if you do a lot of in-town, stop-and-start driving.

You may wonder if there are any signs that can indicate if your car battery needs to be replaced. There are a few signs that indicate a battery is getting older and weaker. The most obvious sign is a slow start or slow crank. If you have tried to start your car and it was completely dead, needing a jumpstart is a sure sign that your battery should be checked, and a likely sign that it needs replacing.

Another sign that a battery check is called for? Dash lights that aren’t working properly, along with potential electrical malfunctions. Check engine lights, including the battery symbol, also provide you with a warning to take your car to Five Star Ford for battery service. If you see any white or blue-green build-up on the battery’s terminals, it’s likely due to corrosion and the battery should be replaced.

Another sign that the battery needs to be replaced is an unpleasant odor, often described as being similar to rotten eggs. This odor comes from hydrogen sulfide, a chemical that is found in leaking battery acid. Leaking batteries are hazardous for you and your car. They should be replaced as soon as possible.

Finally, after three years of service, your battery could simply be wearing out. Get a complimentary battery test from Five Star Ford Stone Mountain.
