BATTERY SERVICE AND REPLACEMENT


 

There are a few things to look for when determining if you need to replace your car battery or not. If your car battery is over 5 years old (the average auto car battery lasts about 4 years), you should bring your Toyota into Autoland Toyota to have it tested. Our car battery service technicians will perform a test that will tell you how strong the battery is.

Unsure of whether or not you could use a new car battery? Stop by Autoland Toyota and have it tested. Our service technicians will help you decide if it's time to change your car battery or not.

Unfortunately, there is no fixed rule or time when to get your car battery replaced. The length of time your car battery will last depends on a few things like how heavily the battery gets used, the quality of your current battery, the weather conditions you use it in, and how much car battery maintenance you've done.

  • After a jump-start or a long period of battery inactivity
  • Sluggish vehicle start, especially during periods of extreme hot or cold temperatures

Where you live can adversely affect your battery life. Hot weather causes batteries to drain faster. If you live in the northern states, your expected battery life is typically 4-6 years. If you live in the south, your expected battery life can be 2-3 years.

Benefits of Having an Autoland Toyota Technician Replace Your Battery

There are other car issues that will show the same signs and symptoms of a weak car battery. Drivers that don't have their car battery tested before replacing it may find they changed their car battery prematurely. Sometimes other items like loose or corroded wires or connections, a loose alternator belt, a faulty alternator or bad starter will show up as the symptoms of a weak or dead battery, even when that isn't the case.

Bringing your Toyota to a battery service technician at Autoland Toyota means you will be able to tell if your battery is weak, or if the problem is an extra drain on the electrical system being caused by a bad component. This test can potentially save you from replacing your car battery.

Why Drivers Should Replace a Weak Battery

When you notice any of signs or symptoms of battery failure or degraded performance in your Toyota, it is time you get the battery tested; and, if needed, start shopping for a replacement. It's typically better to invest your money in purchasing a new car battery instead of trying to get your worn out one repaired.

Driving with a weak car battery often proves to be disastrous. When your car battery is weak, it could give out on you at anytime, potentially leaving you stranded. In fact, dead car batteries are the most common reason for calling emergency road service during colder or winter months.
