Battery Service Savings in Plattsburgh, NY

Battery Service Available at DELLA Subaru of Plattsburgh

Your car battery plays a crucial part in your car's functions. While its primary use is to jump-start the engine, it is also important in keeping all your electronics powered.

When you start your car, your car battery begins a chemical reaction that creates electricity and, in turn, jump-starts the starting motor and engine. If your battery is damaged or drained, it cannot perform this chemical reaction, so your car does not run.

A dead battery at the wrong time brings with it all sorts of expenses and inconveniences. You should be vigilant when it comes to battery maintenance. Make sure that you are not caught off-guard when your battery eventually dies.

You can check if your battery is still good by using a device called a voltmeter. A healthy battery voltage is around 12.6 volts in an idle car. When the car is running, it should be between 13.7 volts and 14.7 volts.

Don't wait for that unwanted surprise. If you drive a Subaru and live in and near Plattsburgh, NY, you can check out DELLA Subaru for affordable battery service. Book an appointment and get that peace of mind and convenience you need.

Signs That Your Battery Needs Changing

• Slow-starting engine. If your automobile requires a long time to start after you begin the engine, a dying battery might be at fault.
• The "Check Engine" light is on. If this happens, there's likely a problem with the engine of your automobile, which could point to issues with your battery.
• Corrosion on the connectors. The connectors are the contact points in your battery that bring the electricity it produces to the rest of the car. If you see an ashy substance accumulating on the connectors, it means these are corroded.
• Dim or underpowered electronics. These include your lights and dashboard controls. Your battery could be running out if it cannot adequately power your car's interior.
• Deformed battery. This commonly occurs in places with extreme weather conditions. Fluctuating temperatures can warp or crack the battery's casing, causing it to not function properly.
• Rotten smell. If your engine compartment smells like a rotten egg, it could mean there's a leak in your battery. Battery leaks often smell bad because of the accumulation of sulfur.

Normal battery life is between three to five years, even shorter depending on how well you take care of your Subaru. If you already have an old battery, you should test its voltage at regular intervals, about twice a year. You can also set a visit with DELLA Subaru and have a professional check your car.
