New Car Batteries

The main symptoms of a flat battery are difficulty starting the engine and dimming headlights. If you notice these signs, it may be time to replace your car battery to avoid getting stranded on the road. Another indicator to look out for is a slow cranking sound when trying to start the engine. This can often present itself as a ‘clicking’ sound.

Travelling only short distances in your vehicle can often shorten the lifespan of your battery, so a good long run out is recommended periodically. Your alternator is what recharges the battery while it’s being driven, however if the car is stationary for long periods, a cheap battery charger might be enough to get you going again.
