Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs that I need a new car battery?
Common signs include dimming headlights, slow engine crank, and frequent need for jump-starts. If you notice these symptoms, it may be time to visit us for a car battery replacement in Maumelle.
Other indicators might include an illuminated engine light or electrical issues within your vehicle, such as power windows moving slowly. These symptoms often point to a battery issue that could be easily resolved with professional testing and, if needed, replacement.
How often should car batteries be replaced in Maumelle?
Typically, car batteries last around 3-5 years, but Maumelle’s hot summers can shorten this lifespan. Regular testing can prevent an unexpected failure.
Frequent temperature fluctuations can also contribute to faster degradation of the battery. It’s wise to follow a proactive maintenance schedule, which includes checking the battery terminal cleanliness to ensure a longer-lasting performance.
What types of batteries do you install?
We install a range of high-quality batteries suited for different vehicles and driving demands, meeting manufacturer specifications for optimal performance.

Do you offer mobile battery replacement services?
Currently, we provide in-store car battery installation in Maumelle with the option of shuttle transport, ensuring your convenience while delivering top-notch service.
While some might find mobile services appealing, we prioritize the accuracy and safety of in-house testing and installation. Our facilities are equipped to offer superior diagnostic capabilities, making certain that every replacement is effective and efficient.
What steps can I take to extend my car battery's life?
Regular maintenance, keeping terminals clean, and avoiding electronic drains when the car is off are simple ways to extend battery life.
Additionally, parking in shaded areas during summer months and ensuring that your battery is securely fastened can also contribute to preserving its longevity. It’s the small, consistent efforts that can make a substantial difference over time.

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.
-
Q. "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.
