What do you know about your car battery? We mean, other than that it provides the electricity to run your vehicle and that, without one, your car isn’t going anywhere, what do you know? Despite our best efforts to know more about our batteries, they seem to be one automotive component that gets short shrift when it comes to user understanding. That’s why we at Avondale Nissan have put together a short rundown of important car battery information for your reading pleasure.
One thing to know about batteries is that, regardless of how well they are cared for, they have a definite lifespan. In most cases, experts agree that five years is pretty standard; some cheaper batteries may go quicker, while higher-quality batteries may last a year or so longer. However, regardless of the quality of the battery, it won’t last forever, and that’s why it’s important to do your best to take great care of it to extend its life as best you can.

There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and that your battery will eventually die. Regardless of the steps that are taken to keep it on the up and up, it will fail after time. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to go out and buy a new one right away. Of course, the first course of action is to jumpstart your car. Another method is to have your battery fully recharged (and tested) by a mechanic, or to buy a battery recharger that simply plugs into a wall electrical outlet and then charges your battery.

Eventually, you may notice that jumpstarts and recharges become more frequent than is acceptable, or when the top of the battery begins to crack and/or ooze fluid. At this time it’s necessary to get a new battery, which is something we’d be happy to do here at Avondale Nissan. To learn more or to schedule an appointment, click the button below!

Just as we need brain and heart for our body to be alive, similarly our car also needs a battery to work. Like anything wants to run smoothly in his car, attention must be paid to it and I think a car battery is no exception. Before getting stuck some where paying for a tow or a new battery, it is far better to save time and money by getting in the habit of checking the battery as the seasons change. In addition to that we should not ignore the warning signs because sometimes ignorance may become dangerous. Thus, we should take care of our battery to remain on the safe side.
