Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average lifespan of a car battery?
Most car batteries last three to five years. Factors such as Tennessee’s climate, driving habits, and maintenance can impact longevity. 
How do I know if my car battery needs to be replaced?
Watch for slow engine cranks, dim or flickering headlights, a dashboard Battery Light, or a sulfur-like odor. These signs indicate it may be time for a replacement.
What are the signs of a failing car battery?
Common symptoms include sluggish starts, clicking sounds when turning the key, reduced electronic functionality, or visible corrosion on battery terminals. Early action can prevent breakdowns.
Can a car battery be recharged, and how is it done?
Yes, a battery can be recharged using a compatible charger. Connect the positive cable to the positive terminal and the negative cable to an unpainted metal surface on the vehicle’s frame. Select the appropriate voltage/amperage and charge until complete.
How often should I have my car battery serviced?
We recommend inspecting your battery every six months or every 6,000 miles to ensure it’s performing optimally.
What factors can affect the lifespan of my car battery?
Time, extreme temperatures, vibrations, and driving habits all impact battery life. Tennessee’s hot summers and occasional cold snaps can accelerate wear.
What is the impact of extreme temperatures on my car battery?
Heat accelerates chemical reactions, causing faster wear, while cold weather reduces the battery’s ability to deliver power. Regular inspections help manage these effects.
Can I replace my car battery myself, or should I seek professional help?
If you’re experienced and follow safety guidelines, you can replace your battery yourself. However, for proper fitment and to avoid issues, our factory-trained technicians in Franklin are here to help.
What are the safety precautions to consider when handling car batteries?
Always turn off your vehicle, wear gloves and safety glasses, and work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with battery acid and dispose of old batteries responsibly to protect the environment.
