Car Battery

The car battery provides the jolt of electricity necessary to power all the electrical components in your vehicle.

Importance of car battery

• Without battery power, your car, as you’ve probably noticed, won’t start.

• Battery converts chemical energy into the electrical energy necessary to power your car, delivering voltage to the starter.

• Keeps the electric current steady: Not only does your battery provide the energy required to start your car, it’s also stabilizing the voltage in order to keep your engine running.

Reasons for battery damage

• Shorted cell due to failure of the separator between the positive and negative plates

• Shorted cell or cells due to build up of shed plate material below the plates of the cell

• Broken internal connections due to corrosion

• Broken plates due to vibration and corrosion

• Low electrolyte level

• Cracked or broken case

• Broken terminals

• Sulfation after prolonged disuse in a low or zero charged state

• Frequent and continuous overcharge

Reasons for battery damage

• Check the four- or five-digit date code on the cover of your battery case

•The first part of the code is key: look for the letter and digit. A letter is assigned to each month — like A for January, B for

February and so on.

Decode your battery life

•The number that follows nods to the year, as in 9 for 2009 and 1 for 2011. This code tells you when the battery was shipped from the

factory to your local Interstate Battery wholesale distributor

• The additional digits tell where the battery was made.

•Car batteries last, three- to-five years on an average, but there are also weak battery signs to watch out for.

•Slow engine crank: When you attempt to start the vehicle, the cranking of the engine is sluggish and takes longer than normal to start

•If your battery case is swollen or bloated

How do I determine if my battery needs replacement?

• There’s a smelly rotten egg scent coming from the battery • Is the engine light is blinking

• Low battery fluid level: Car batteries typically have a part of the casing that’s translucent so you can always keep an eye on your battery’s fluid level.
