Battery Replacement and Maintenance

How many times have you hopped in and started your vehicle without a worry – it always started without a second thought? Probably more than you can count, right? Well, what about that one time that it doesn’t? Who do you call?

At Massimo Motorworks we take battery replacement and maintenance seriously – and can help get you back on the road with a brand new battery, or just get your battery and cables maintained.

Battery Replacement & Maintenance

Battery replacement and maintenance are key to keeping you behind the wheel with your vehicle running versus being stranded with a dead battery. Your car’s battery powers everything from starting the engine to running electronics like lights and the radio. Over time, batteries can lose charge or wear out, especially in the cold and hot temperatures, so regular maintenance can help prevent those unplanned and unexpected breakdowns. Being stranded in the grocery parking lot or after a long day at the park is never fun – so be sure to get your battery checked today!

When Should I Have My Battery Replaced Or Maintained?

Knowing when you should replace your battery versus when you just need to have a routine maintenance check is essential to keeping your vehicle running longer. Being able to keep your battery maintained will help ensure you aren’t stuck with a vehicle that won’t start.

  • Every 3-5 Years: Car batteries typically last between 3 and 5 years, so it’s a good idea to replace it before it starts losing its charge. Scheduling regular maintenance appointments and checking on the health of your battery can help prevent those surprise mishaps when on the road.
  • Slow Engine Crank: Have you ever turned the key in your car or pushed the start button and found your car is starting much slower than what it has in the past? This can be a sign of the battery losing its charge and needing a replacement.
  • Dashboard Warning Light: Many vehicles have a battery warning light that will appear if there’s an issue with the battery or charging system. If you see this light come on, it’s time to have it checked.
  • Corrosion or Leaks: When you pop the hood and notice corrosion around the battery terminals or any leaks, it’s a good sign that the battery may need replacing or cleaning.
  • Dim Lights or Electrical Issues: Have you noticed that your headlights dim when you start the engine or you experience electrical problems – it’s a sign of a weak battery or issues with the alternator.
  • Extreme Weather Conditions: Hot summers and cold winters can shorten a battery’s lifespan. Our New Jersey temperature fluctuations can wreak havoc on your batter so regular checks are important to ensure your battery is still in good condition.

Common FAQs For Battery Replacement & Maintenance

Should I replace the battery if the "Check Battery" light comes on?
Yes, if the “Check Battery” light appears, it’s a sign that there’s an issue with the battery or charging system. It’s best to have it checked by a professional to determine whether a replacement is needed.
Is it normal for my car battery to lose charge over time?
Yes, it’s normal for a battery to gradually lose charge as it ages. This is why regular testing and maintenance are important to ensure it’s still in good condition before it fails completely. Just like a battery in a clock or a children’s toy, batteries need to be replaced.
Can a bad battery damage my car’s electrical system?
Yes, if your battery is faulty or completely dead, it can cause electrical problems. A failing battery can make your car’s alternator work harder and possibly damage other electrical parts in your car.
What should I do if my battery is leaking?
If you notice a battery leak, it’s best to get it replaced immediately. Battery leaks can be dangerous due to the corrosive nature of the chemicals inside the battery which can damage other parts of your vehicle. Liquid from batteries are harmful so we are happy to help keep you safe and take care of this issue for you – and dispose of the battery properly.
Why does cold weather affect my battery?
Cold temperatures can reduce the battery’s ability to hold a charge, making it harder for your car to start. In extreme cold, the battery’s capacity may be reduced which can make it fail sooner.
What are the signs that my car battery needs to be replaced?
Common signs include slow engine cranking, dim headlights, warning lights on the dashboard, or difficulty starting the car. If you notice any of these, it might be time for a replacement.
