FAQ: Battery Testing & Care
What Signs Indicate a Car Battery Needs Testing?
Common signs include a slow engine crank, dim headlights, or a dashboard warning light shaped like a battery. If you notice any of these, schedule a battery check to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
How Often Should I Test My Car Battery?
Test your car battery twice a year—once before winter, once before summer. Lockport's extreme temperatures strain batteries, so regular checks help prevent inconvenience.
How Does Battery Testing Work?
We assess voltage and load using professional diagnostic tools. This lets us see whether your battery holds a charge and powers your car efficiently, so you get honest answers and quick next steps.
Can Weather Affect Car Battery Life?
Yes. Both very hot and cold temperatures stress batteries. Heat evaporates fluid, and cold reduces charge. In Lockport, proactive maintenance reduces weather-related issues.
What Warranty Options Are Available for Battery Services?
Most battery services at Christian Brothers Automotive Lockport include a 3-year or 36,000-mile warranty—whichever lasts longer. This covers most repairs and gives you added peace of mind.

FAQs
-
Q. "How long can a car sit before the battery dies?"The battery in your car can die within as little as two weeks when unused. While our cars are more technologically advanced than ever, this comes at a cost. Due to the various gadgets and computer technology manufacturers include in our vehicles, the newest models coming off the line are always on, continually monitoring the car’s systems around the clock.
-
Q. "Does the temperature affect my vehicle's battery?"Hot and cold temperatures can ruin your battery, especially if it’s already weak. Most customers in warm, southern climates don’t realize that hot weather drains their batteries. On the other hand, cold temperatures slow down chemical reactions, which means that your car battery will become sluggish and appear to be far lower than it actually is. Most modern batteries are designed to deliver an abundance of power at what is considered a “cold crank” temperature, but older batteries or batteries which are further into their lifespan may even fail to start your car on a particularly frigid and frosty morning.

"Why do car batteries fail?"The answer to this popular question includes many different reasons, ranging from age, corrosion, alternator problems, extreme weather conditions, or the classic case of headlights being left on.
