Inspecting and Replacing Car Batteries in Hawkesbury


If you own a
car, then you are probably well aware of the importance of
car batteries in Hawkesbury and other parts of the world too, which are in fact the lifeblood of your ride.  As the car owner, you must have sufficient knowledge of the car batteries in Hawkesbury, the more knowledge you have the fewer chances are there to stick with them. And for facilitating the necessary knowledge AA West Automotive are here to help you. 

Car batteries in Hawkesbury and all over the world have an average life of 3 to 5 years with normal conditions and good driving habits. However, this life span can get longer or shorter depending on your driving habit and the conditions encountered. At our workshop, we offer a routine checkup of your car battery health on every visit knowing the importance of battery health for your journey. In this check, we tell you what temperature can fail your battery's working and give an estimated battery life left behind. This mere test will guide you to go or not. 

You might wonder how does your car battery work? 

Your electrical components of the vehicle need a jolt which is provided by the car battery. If it won't give this jolt, your car will not start. This little box of power works in the following way: 

1. The chemical reaction gives the chemical energy which is converted into electrical energy to supply power to the electrical components to start the car engine. The voltage is delivered to the starter for this purpose. 

2. It doesn’t only do this but also the steady electric current is only possible because of this powerful box. It also stabilizes the voltage to keep the vehicle running smoothly. 

A poor battery will interrupt your journey and the car may stop at any point so before going on a long journey you must check the battery and replace it if it needs to be.  The battery itself will give you indications to get it fixed or replace it. These symptoms are: 

  • Cranking the engine will indicate that it is sluggish. The car will take longer time to start than normal time. It will probably give a starting noise which is unusual. 

  • On getting the battery weak, your car engine light sometimes appears. Other unusual system indicator lights like low coolant lights may also appear but not always shows a weaker battery sometime it will need more coolant. Checking the battery fluid will also tell you the battery’s health. Some batteries can have black and red caps on them which are removable, you can inspect from there but the modern batteries have sealed caps now. 

  • Many times, excessive heating can damage the health and life of the battery. A swelled or bloating battery is a clear indication of its being damaged and needs to be replaced as soon as possible. 

  • The wrong gone battery gives a stinky smell of rotten egg. It is because of leakage or corrosion. This corrosion may occur on the positive and negative terminals. Sometimes removal of gunk can give the start to your car. 

  • As the average life span of a battery is 3 to 5 years so when a car battery gets older than 3 years, you should be mentally prepared for its replacement. 

A bad car battery surely harms the healthy parts of the car as it puts more stress on them and there are more chances to get them damaged also.  Because when a battery is not working properly, the electrical parts are drawing excessive voltage which may lead them towards malfunctioning. So you must replace the car battery in Hawkesbury to save the other expensive parts otherwise you have to spend very much if the problem is left unsolved. At AA Automotive we also check the electrical components involved whether they are drawing excessive voltage because of poor car battery health or the problem is somewhere else. 

As your body needs a regular checkup to remain fit, similarly your car batteries also need a routine inspection and leave behind the biggest fear of not a starting car in the middle of any road.
