Battery Replacement
Volkswagen Car Battery Replacement in Bedford, MA
If the battery in your vehicle is dead, the car won't start. The battery gives the car the juice that it needs to turn over. It also provides power to the radio and the lights when the car isn't running. Like all batteries, your car battery will eventually run out of juice and need to be replaced.
How Are Car Batteries Replaced?
When you bring your car to the mechanic to have the battery replaced, they will first disconnect the old battery and remove it. Next, the mechanic will put the new battery in place, connect the negative wire to the negative post and the positive post's positive wire. Finally, the mechanic will dispose of the battery in accordance with environmental regulations.
Why Would I Need To Replace My Battery?
Your battery will need to be replaced when it no longer has enough juice to keep your car running. If you aren't sure if your vehicle has reached its maximum lifespan, there are a few ways that you can tell.
- The battery is swollen, cracked, or leaking.
- Your engine is turning over, but the car won't start.
- Your engine won't turn over and the lights and radio don't work.
- You need to call for a jump start frequently.
The longer you ignore these issues, the worse they will get.
How Often Should I Get a New Battery?
It is recommended that you have your battery replaced every two to four years. The exact amount of time would depend on how old your vehicle is. Newer cars have sophisticated dashboard computers, which can drain the battery, causing it to run out of juice faster. Older vehicles don't have sophisticated computers, which helps the battery last longer.
