Your car battery is very important to maintain the life of your vehicle. It interacts with a lot more parts than you would assume, and can cause some severe problem to those parts too if it’s damaged. 

It can even go to the extent of entirely shutting down your vehicle if it goes flat. A simple car battery change service remedies all these issues, and has your car back to optimal performance in no time. 

There are a lots of factors that influence the general health of a car battery. The list ranges from leaving your headlights or internal lights on, to a defective charging mechanism, to a faulty alternator, to loose or worn-out battery cables.

General vehicle maintenance advice includes avoiding excessively short drives and routinely getting a car battery change service done. This is particularly useful if you happened to have a bad battery.

Is your vehicle battery dead, need car battery change or close to dying? Sometimes it could just be a case of ‘bad battery’. Either way, these are the telltale signs to look out for:

Headlights seem dimmer than expected – If your headlights seem weaker than usual, then it’s a sign that your car battery is unable to power the electrical components correctly. This typically signals a case of a bad battery.

Slow crank – The more you drive your car, the more aware you become of how the car feels, and sounds. If the engine crank sounds groggy or delayed, it hints towards a weak battery.

Click sound in the ignition – Another symptom that’s linked to your key, and the action of starting the car. The ignition works as a communication device with the battery. When the battery is significantly weak, it doesn’t send enough current when the key is used to start the car, resulting in the clicking sound.

Your car battery needs replacing if it’s struggling to perform the tasks your car needs it to do. If your car has problems when you try to start it, or your headlamps are dim when the engine is idling, then there could well be issues with the battery that means it needs replacing.Call us For Car Battery Change In Dubai And Sharjah.

Typical symptoms of a failing battery include corrosion on the terminals or powdery deposits on any part of the battery. Terminal corrosion indicates a worn-out battery and the powdery deposits are likely leaked acid from a worn or faulty battery.

If the lights, fan, radio or other components won’t operate when the engine isn’t running, or the car refuses to start, then it’s likely your battery is flat. A flat battery could mean it’s reached the end of its life, or there’s a problem with the alternator or charging system.

A simple test is to start the car, and while it’s running remove the positive connector from the battery. If the car stalls, then it’s far more likely to be a fault with the alternator than the battery. Dimming interior and dashboard lights can also indicate a poor-performing alternator.

If your car jump-starts using leads connected to another car, then it’s more likely a battery issue than with the alternator.

Most new batteries are sealed and maintenance-free, so you really shouldn’t interfere with what’s inside. Older batteries, or those with accessible battery caps, can have each compartment topped up with water to the correct, and optimum, level.

A trickle charger or smart charger should be used to slow charge the battery over a week to 10 days. The slow charging rate should dissolve the de-sulphation that kills the battery.

Alternatively, wire in an electric de-sulphate device or add a chemical desulphated to the filling ports.Call car battery change near me.

If your battery has been drained by accident, then you can jump-start the car by attaching jump-leads between your car battery and the healthy battery of another vehicle. Driving your car can put the charge back onto a flat battery, or at least get you home where you can use a charger to recharge your battery fully.

Remember to connect positive to positive (the red lead) and negative to negative (the black lead). Start the engine of the car with the healthy battery and allow it to run for around 10 minutes. This will put some charge onto the flat battery. You can then attempt to start the car with the flat battery. If the car doesn’t start, the problem could be more severe than you initially thought.

If the battery has died and isn’t just flat, then the battery will need replacing. The old battery must be disposed of and recycled properly.

It’s impossible to pinpoint an exact time, as there are many factors that can affect the outcome. A car in good condition with a healthy or reasonably new battery should last up to 2 months. However, depending on the temperature, the electric components that run even when your car doesn’t, and the battery chemistry, the time it takes to lose its charge could be as little as a few weeks.

Not necessarily. It depends on the alternator fault and the subsequent effect it had on your battery. Your battery might have been impacted, damaging the cells, which would suggest it needed replacing. The best way to decide if a battery needs replacing is to have it tested, determining its true condition. If the battery is over 4-years-old, it’s probably worth replacing anyway.

When replacing a car battery, the main thing to remember is to remove the negative terminal (the black one) first, then the positive (red).

Once you’ve removed the securing clamps and removed the battery, replace it with the new one and prepare to reattach the terminals. This time attach the positive terminal (red) first, followed by the negative (black). You should clean the terminals thoroughly removing any dirt or corrosion. Spray the terminals with anti-corrosion solution before reconnecting, and be sure to both terminals are securely tightened, as are the securing clamps.

Previously it was possible without damaging the vehicle. Now, modern cars are basically computers on wheels. Recharging/boosting a car through your own car send electrical surge which can damage electronic components in your vehicle.
