Battery Replacement and Recharging
The battery is an important part of your vehicle that helps keep all your electrical systems running. If your battery is drained or otherwise damaged or broken, you aren’t going to get very far before problems start to occur — if you can get your car started at all.
At Bosch Auto Service, our mechanics diagnose and repair both battery and electrical problems. With in-depth diagnostic testing and reliable replacements or repairs, Bosch Auto Service is your go-to auto repair shop for all car battery replacement or electrical needs.
Signs You Need a Battery Replacement
Your car’s battery is only one part of your car that can go wrong. Knowing the true cause of any symptom can take specialized equipment and diagnostic testing. But there are a few symptoms to look out for that could indicate you may need a car battery replacement. If your car experiences any of the following, you should get your car battery tested.
- Engine cranks (makes chirping noise) when starting
- Colder weather affects the amount of time your car takes to start
- You start your car, but the interior lights do not turn on
These are all signs that point to a drained or broken battery. One way to test if your car’s battery system is the true culprit is to jumpstart your car. If this fixes the problems, then your battery or alternator is ineffective and should be checked and replaced to prevent further issues.
Signs of Car Alternator Issues
The battery itself isn’t always at fault, and many electrical issues are caused by a faulty alternator. A bad alternator prevents your battery from properly recharging. You may still be able to start your car and run it as needed, but you might notice some additional issues if there’s a faulty alternator:
- Car stalls more frequently
- Lights begin to dim
- Stereo system begins to falter
- Use of electrical components cause a squealing noise
- Car starts after a jumpstart but then immediately stops running
