Signs your battery is on its way out

  • The engine turns over slowly, especially on cold mornings
  • Clicking when you turn the key, but the engine won't start
  • The battery warning light comes on or flickers while driving
  • Dim headlights or interior lights
  • Electrics such as windows or the radio acting up
  • You've needed a jump start recently

Why batteries fail in winter

Cold weather makes it harder for a battery to deliver power, just when the engine needs more of it to start. Lots of short journeys make it worse, because the battery never gets fully recharged. A battery that was struggling in the autumn will often give up on the first frosty morning.

Battery or alternator?

A flat battery isn't always the battery's fault. If the alternator isn't charging properly, or something is draining power while the car is parked, a new battery will soon go flat too. We test the battery, the charging system and the starter, then tell you what we found and the price.

Questions

Batteries: good to know

Can you test my battery before replacing it?

Yes. We always test it first, along with the charging system, so you don't pay for a battery you don't need.

Does my car need a special battery?

Some cars, especially ones with stop-start, need a specific type of battery, and some need it registering to the car after fitting. We check what your car needs and fit the right one.

How long does it take?

A battery swap is usually quick and often done while you wait. If we find a charging fault, we'll explain it and give you a price first.

Will you do work without asking me?

Never. We always call with a clear price first.
