Car Battery Facts You Need to Know

| By: Christian Brothers Automotive
When you turn your key in the ignition, have you ever wondered what makes the car start? If you’ve ever turned the key, only to see nothing happen, you may already be well aware it’s the battery. The car battery helps your engine spring to life, and keeps the car operable, even when the engine is off. Today, the auto repair experts at Christian Brothers Automotive Queen Creek are telling you everything you need to know about your car battery.

How the Battery Works

The battery powers almost everything in your vehicle. This includes:

  • The starter
  • The engine
  • Windshield wipers
  • Electrical components

The battery is able to do this by converting chemical energy into electrical energy, and delivering that energy to the starter. Once the battery has the engine up and running, it stabilizes the voltage to keep everything operational.

Battery Lifespan

The average car battery will last 3 to 5 years, but the lifespan can vary based on driving habits and weather conditions. During abnormal weather, such as extreme cold or heat, you may experience minor issues and require a jump from a fellow Arizona driver. When it does come time for a battery replacement, the experts at your local Christian Brothers Automotive in Queen Creek will recommend the battery that’s best for your vehicle.

Warning Signs of Battery Issues

There are several warning signs that your battery may be on its last leg. These include:

  • Low battery fluid level
  • Swelling/bloating battery case
  • Rotten egg smell
