Entrust Your Car’s Battery to the Experts

When it comes to a car’s battery, it takes an expert to diagnose the starting and charging systems in the vehicle. Our technicians will inspect all battery connections, including the hardware, the condition of the case, the electrolyte level, and the battery load.

 We will also inspect the alternator belts, brackets, and connections and test voltage and current. Finally, we will check the starter for proper connections and mounting. We will test it to see how much electrical power is needed to turn over the engine when the engine is cranked.

 Based on our inspection findings, we can recommend the best service for you. We will only replace the components needed. Unlike other car parts, the battery does not give any warning sign when it is near failure.

 When the battery is aged three or more years, we suggest a battery replacement. You can also refer to your vehicle’s manual for factory-recommended maintenance intervals for your specific vehicle. 

How a Car Battery and Charging System Works

The battery provides the jolt of electricity needed to power all of your car’s electrical components, and so much more! That tiny box performs two essential functions: 

The battery delivers voltage to the starter by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. It gives your vehicle the power it needs to start. 

The battery provides the right amount of energy to kick things off under the hood. It also delivers a steady stream of voltage to keep the engine running throughout your drive.

 The battery is significantly related to the car’s starting and charging systems. They all work together to convert chemical energy into mechanical energy, and then back again. 

 The starter uses mechanical energy to crank the engine. Once the engine is running, the entire system becomes somewhat cyclical. The engine’s rotation drives the alternator and forces energy where it’s stored as chemical energy. This chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy to feed the starter and your car’s various accessories. The cycle continues as the engine’s mechanical energy drives the alternator and recharges the battery.
