Signs You Need A New Battery

Car batteries often signal trouble before failing completely. If your engine cranks slowly or you hear clicking when turning the key, your battery is likely struggling. Recognizing these signs early helps you avoid being stranded in a Simpsonville parking lot. We recommend acting quickly at the first sign of hesitation to prevent an inconvenient breakdown.

Local driving conditions, like short trips and hot summers, strain batteries significantly. However, symptoms like dim lights can sometimes indicate alternator issues rather than a bad battery. We test the entire system before recommending a replacement, ensuring you only pay for what your vehicle truly needs to get back on the road safely.

Common indicators that your battery requires attention include:

Slow Crank: The engine turns over sluggishly or takes longer than normal to start on cold mornings.
Clicking Sound: You hear a rapid clicking noise when turning the key, suggesting insufficient power delivery.
Dim Lights: Headlights or interior lights appear weaker than usual but brighten when you rev the engine.
Dashboard Warning: The battery icon illuminates or flickers on your dashboard, signaling a charging system fault.
Frequent Jumps: You rely on jump starts regularly, or the car fails to start after sitting briefly.

Our Battery Testing & Installation Process

When you visit our Simpsonville shop, we begin by discussing your specific starting issues and battery history to understand the symptoms. Our ASE-certified technicians then use manufacturer-quality equipment to evaluate voltage, cold cranking amps, and alternator output. This thorough approach ensures we pinpoint the exact cause of the problem—whether it is a bad battery or a system drain—before recommending a solution.

Our comprehensive battery service includes the following steps:

System Testing: We measure battery health, starter performance, and check for parasitic drains that deplete power while parked.
Clear Consultation: We explain our findings in plain language, outlining whether you need a simple recharge or a replacement.
Precise Installation: We safely remove the old unit, clean corroded terminals, and install the new battery with secure hold-downs.
Memory Preservation: We take care to retain your radio presets and system settings whenever possible during the exchange.

After installation, we perform final checks to verify that the charging system is operating correctly and that all warning lights are off. We review the service with you and answer any final questions you may have. Our goal is to send you back on the road with a reliable vehicle and total peace of mind.

Quality Batteries, Warranty & Convenience

The battery you choose affects how confidently your vehicle starts on cold mornings and hot afternoons. We install quality batteries that meet or exceed your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications, so your starting system gets the power it was designed for. We help you choose the right size, rating, and type based on your vehicle and driving habits instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Our industry-leading warranty on batteries and labor is another way we work to help protect your investment. We explain how long your coverage lasts, what is included, and how to reach us if you ever have a concern. Our goal is for you to leave knowing that if you notice a problem later, you can return, and we will review it with you.

We also know your time is valuable. Battery testing and replacement typically fit within a same-day visit, and in many cases can be completed within a relatively short appointment. If you prefer not to wait at the shop, we can often provide a complimentary shuttle to nearby homes or workplaces in the area so you can stay on schedule while we work.

For those who choose to wait, our welcoming lobby gives you a comfortable place to sit while our technicians service your vehicle. We keep you updated on progress and obtain your approval before performing additional related services. Whether you schedule ahead or call when a problem appears, we work to make the process of car battery replacement as straightforward as possible.

How do I know if I really need a new battery?

You know you may need a new battery when testing shows it can no longer hold an adequate charge. We perform a full battery and charging system test, then explain the numbers in simple terms so you can see why we recommend replacement or why another component may be at fault.

Yes, we check the full starting and charging system, not just the battery.

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. We explain why these common problems affect your vehicle’s battery on our auto repair blog.
Q. "Do you look at all makes and models?"

Yes! Christian Brothers Automotive has been providing reliable car maintenance and repair for over 40 years. Over that time, our professionals and ASE-certified technicians have handled a vast range of makes and models, and they continue to navigate the forefront of the auto industry’s technologies. If you own a vehicle from a major American or foreign car maker, we are ready to service it.
Q. "Do you offer a warranty?"

As part of our Nice difference.® commitment to providing our customers the best auto service experience possible, we also offer a3-year/36,000-mile warranty on all the work that we do. We offer this warranty at every Christian Brothers Automotive nationwide, and it will be honored at any location, regardless of which branch did the initial work.
