Battery Uses
Your vehicle runs on fuel, which is used by the engine as you're driving. However, in order to get your gas flowing through your engine and ignited, you need an electrical spark. This is provided by the battery. Because of this, it plays an integral part in your vehicle's powertrain. Among its uses, it also powers the electrical components within the cabin. The displays, lights, and more are all functioning thanks to the electricity provided by the car battery. Different size cars have distinct voltage needs, and to find this information, you can always check your model's Owner's Manual. 

Test and Replacement

There are three main tests used to determine the condition of your battery. The first is a visual inspection, where we use our eyes to examine the power component. If there's any leaking acid, which is highly corrosive, we will act immediately to replace the part. The next test is a charge level exam, where we use devices to see how well the battery holds onto its voltage and isn't malfunctioning in any way. The final test is a performance run, where we turn on the car to see how the battery works. We recommend you perform any of these tests with our Service Department at least every two years. A battery replacement is in check every four to five years.
