What’s Included in Battery Service?

Battery service at Gettel Genesis of Lakewood is designed to extend the battery’s lifespan and anticipate when it will need to be replaced. Basic battery service includes inspecting the sides and body of the battery, battery terminals, and cables. Our certified technicians will check for signs of damage, such as bulges or cracks. We’ll ensure the battery cables are in good condition and properly secured and the battery terminals are corrosion-free. Finally, our team will perform a voltage and load test to assess the battery’s condition and determine if it needs to be replaced.

How Often Should Car Batteries be Replaced?

Though we all wish they could last forever, your car battery will eventually need to be replaced. Most will last between four and five years. Exactly when you need to replace your car battery depends on several factors. Those factors include:

  • Make and Model of Your Vehicle
  • Brand and Size of Battery
  • Local Climate
  • Driving Habits

Signs Your Battery Should Be Replaced

You can be sure the current battery has met its end by asking our service technicians to perform voltage and load tests. A voltage test measures how many volts the battery has. A fully charged battery should have an open circuit reading of above 12.4 volts. A voltage-under-load test should result in a reading above 9.6 in a fully charged battery. Anything below these readings indicates that the battery is weak and may not be able to hold a charge. Other signs that it’s time for a new battery include.

  • Frequent Dead Battery
  • Dimming Exterior Lights
  • Slow to Crank
  • Interior Lighting Issues
  • Check Engine Light
  • Extreme Temperatures
