Battery Life and Care

The longevity of your vehicle's battery is dependent on a lot of factors. Age is a major indicator of how well a battery will perform over time. The older one gets, the more likely the chances that it needs to be replaced.

If you notice your lights dim or your engine hesitate to start when you turn the ignition, it may be time to get your battery tested with an automotive professional service center.

GM Certified Technicians

Certified, expert service at a GM maintenance facility is the best answer for all your vehicle's care, including batteries. Our technicians know the ins and outs of each GM model better than a general automotive mechanic, and they only work with authentic manufacturer parts or manufacturer-recommended parts.

Car Battery FAQ

Q: Why won't my car start?

A: There are numerous reasons why a vehicle won't start. If it's related to the battery, the starter will generally not crank the engine. This is the telltale "click, click, click" when you turn the key or press the start button. This could be an alternator not charging the battery properly, a loose battery or starter cable, or a battery that needs to be replaced. Because batteries only crank for 3 seconds, in most cases, there may be no "slow crank" warning. That is why it is important to get your battery tested by a Chevrolet Certified Service professional at Elkins Chevrolet.

Q: Do I need to charge my auto battery after I jump-start my vehicle?

A: In most instances, normal driving will recharge the battery unless there is an issue with the vehicle. If your vehicle does not start after driving it, it's recommended that you take your vehicle to the Certified Service experts at Elkins Chevrolet to have a diagnosis performed.

Q: What are the main causes of auto battery failure?

A: Batteries wear out over time, but there are also issues that impact battery failure, for example, unusual "parasitic drains" such as adding accessories but not properly grounding them, infrequent startup, and discharged batteries freezing at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Q: What kind of preventative maintenance can I perform for my auto battery?

A: The best thing that you can do is have your Certified Service technician at Elkins Chevrolet perform a conductance test on your battery when you get your oil changed. This helps to monitor the status of the battery and helps prevent you from being in a situation where your vehicle won't start.
