Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know When to Replace My Car Battery?
It’s important to recognize the signs that your car battery may need replacement. Look for symptoms such as a slow engine crank, low battery fluid levels, and an illuminated check engine light. Frequent needs for engine jump starts can also indicate a failing battery. Ensuring prompt attention to these signs can prevent vehicle breakdowns and extend the lifespan of your vehicle's electrical components.
What Should I Consider When Choosing a New Car Battery?
Consider the size, brand, and warranty period when selecting a new car battery. The battery should fit your vehicle specifications outlined by the manufacturer, covering factors like voltage and reserve capacity. High-quality batteries often come with longer warranties and additional features that ensure durability and performance under various conditions. At Christian Brothers Automotive Apex, we can help you choose the best option for your vehicle's make and model, ensuring compatibility and longevity.
Can Cold Weather Affect My Car Battery?
Cold weather can significantly impact your car battery’s performance, reducing its capacity to hold charge and deliver power. Batteries can lose up to 60% of their strength in extreme cold conditions. To mitigate this, it is advisable to check your battery condition before the onset of winter, ensure it is correctly charged, and maintain it well. Our team at Christian Brothers Automotive Apex is ready to provide advice and services to help protect your battery during the colder months.

FAQs
-
Q. "How long can a car sit before the battery dies?"The battery in your car can die within as little as two weeks when unused. While our cars are more technologically advanced than ever, this comes at a cost. Due to the various gadgets and computer technology manufacturers include in our vehicles, the newest models coming off the line are always on, continually monitoring the car’s systems around the clock.
-
Q. "Does the temperature affect my vehicle's battery?"Hot and cold temperatures can ruin your battery, especially if it’s already weak. Most customers in warm, southern climates don’t realize that hot weather drains their batteries. On the other hand, cold temperatures slow down chemical reactions, which means that your car battery will become sluggish and appear to be far lower than it actually is. Most modern batteries are designed to deliver an abundance of power at what is considered a “cold crank” temperature, but older batteries or batteries which are further into their lifespan may even fail to start your car on a particularly frigid and frosty morning.
-
Q. "Why do car batteries fail?"The answer to this popular question includes many different reasons, ranging from age, corrosion, alternator problems, extreme weather conditions, or the classic case of headlights being left on.
