Battery Replacement Service in Fairfield, CT

How Do I Know if My Car Needs a New Car Battery?

There may be several warning signs that alert you that your car's battery is dying. If you notice any of the following signs while starting your car, it may be time to have your battery tested, and maybe even replaced altogether.

• Slow engine crank
• Reduced function of headlights and power windows
• Check engine indicator light is on
• Bloated battery, which can be a sign of heat damage
• Corrosion or stains around the terminal
• Rotten egg smell

There aren't always warning signs that your battery needs to be replaced, so we recommend visiting out our service center for a battery test every time you come in for an oil change, or twice a year.

How Often Should My Car's Battery Be Replaced?

Car batteries typically last 4-5 years, but this can vary based on weather and driving habits. Some of the most common factors that contribute to battery wear are excessive heat, which causes fluid in the battery to evaporate, as well as cold Connecticut winters. Short driving trips, excessive battery use including charging devices, and not driving for extended periods of time can also affect the life of your battery.
