How do I know if my car battery is failing? Spot the Signs Before You’re Stranded
Common warning signs include:
- Slow engine crank
- Dim headlights
- Electrical accessories are not working properly
- The battery warning light on your dashboard
Can I replace my car battery myself? DIY or Call the Pros? Here’s the Charge
Yes, if you have the tools and basic mechanical knowledge. However, for safety and proper disposal, professional installation is recommended.
What’s the difference between lead-acid, AGM, and lithium car batteries? From Classic to Cutting-Edge: Choosing Your Car’s Power Source
- Lead-acid: Affordable, standard choice for most vehicles
- AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat): More durable, maintenance-free, better for high-power demands
- Lithium: Lightweight, long-lasting, more expensive, usually for performance or specialty vehicles
Does the weather affect car battery life? Hot or Cold, Your Battery Pays the Price
Yes. Extreme heat speeds up battery fluid evaporation, while extreme cold makes starting harder. Both can shorten battery life.
How often should I check my car battery? Twice a Year Keeps the Tow Truck Away
Check at least twice a year, or before long trips. Look for corrosion, loose connections, and ensure it’s charging correctly.
Can a dead battery be recharged? Revive It or Replace It: Knowing When a Battery’s Done
If it’s discharged (e.g., from leaving lights on), it can usually be recharged with a battery charger or by jump-starting. If it’s old or damaged, replacement is best.
Do I need a special battery for a start-stop vehicle? Built to Start Again and Again
Yes. Stop-start systems require AGM or EFB batteries designed to handle frequent charging cycles. Supercharge Stop Start batteries are designed for frequent starting, which is the primary characteristic of a stop-start vehicle. Supercharge batteries are used as OE replacement.
How should I dispose of an old car battery? From Old to Gold: Powering the Future Through Recycling
Never throw it in the bin. Please take it to a battery recycling centre. Many of our Supercharge representatives and dealers, auto parts stores, or mechanics offer to take used lead-acid batteries. Supercharge has its recycling plant in Wagga Wagga, NSW. Trailblazing for a sustainable future, Supercharge Batteries are made from 99% recycled materials.
