Car Battery Replacement at Home

Making Life A Little Easier !

Most batteries now require no regular maintenance, but to extend life you can check and clean your car battery, as well as charging it when needed. Modern car batteries have a life expectancy of around five to seven years, but it’s pretty much impossible to predict when the end is getting near.

Car batteries suffer if heavily discharged, damaging the cells as well as failing to start the car. So, if the charge warning light comes on, or if the battery seems very sluggish on starting, get the system checked as soon as possible.

Basic voltage, current rating and size of battery are given must be right for the make and model of your car. There will then be the choice of battery make, capacity, grid type and warranty life. These factors will be reflected in the price, generally the higher capacity and longer warranties go with the more expensive brands. In most cases they’l all be worth paying for - particularly in the case of a diesel where cold-start current demand will be higher than for the same sized petrol engine.

 

Maintenance-free batteries will use lead-calcium for both grids, and this is nowadays a widely sold type of battery. An alternative, sometimes cheaper type is the “hybrid” lead-calcium/lead-antimony low maintenance batteries, or the older style plain lead-antimony battery.
