The Importance of testing your battery

Battery age

Batteries gradually deteriorate until they can no longer provide enough power to start an engine. This wear time typically takes 3-5 years. 

Vehicle Usage

Batteries in vehicles parked for extended periods naturally self-discharge, while those used mostly for short trips may not fully recharge.

Climate

Heat facilitates the chemical reaction car batteries use to generate electricity, but it also increases the rate of battery degradation. A battery may last 5 years or longer in cold climates, but closer to 3 years in hot ones.

Battery basics

Things to know

  • Bargain batteries may not meet manufacturer's specifications and could harm certain electrical components. 
  • The quality of a battery matters; the length of the warranty and free-replacement period is a good indication of quality. 
  • Increased computer technology in today's cars means that often, only a professional can service electrical components

Signs you need a new battery

  • Your engine cranks slowly or has trouble “turning over.” 
  • The Battery/Charging dash light illuminates.  
  • In older cars, headlights may dim, especially when idling.

How fresh is your battery?

Battery freshness is important for performance. A new battery just out of the factory is considered “fresh”; one that’s been sitting on a shelf for months or years is not. Be assured, AAA Premium Batteries are one of the freshest batteries available. And even if your AAA battery should ever act, well, not so fresh, it comes backed by a 3-year free-replacement warranty. 

Re-Fresh!

What happens to your old battery when we replace it? You might say we send it away to be “re-freshed.” AAA Battery Service takes special care to ensure your old battery is removed, handled and recycled in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Ninety-eight percent of it will be recycled into new products.

Before you replace…

Battery replacement is not always necessary. For example, leaving your lights on will drain your battery, but a boost or jump-start can quickly and reliably get you moving again.
