Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Replace My Car Battery?
Typically, car batteries should be replaced every 3 to 5 years. However, several factors can influence this lifespan, including driving habits, climate, and frequency of short trips. Regular testing can help determine if your battery is nearing its end and preempt any inconvenience of a dead battery.
What Are Signs My Battery Needs Replacement?
Indicators that your battery might need replacement include slow engine crank, dimming headlights, frequent need for jump-starts, and the battery warning light illuminated on your dashboard. If you notice any of these signs, it is beneficial to bring your vehicle in for a check-up.
How Does Oklahoma City’s Weather Affect My 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.
