Today’s Somerset vehicles have more electrical components and do-dads than ever before. This really strains your vehicle’s electrical system, making it hard for the battery to keep up. Think about it: electric seats, seat heaters, power locks, windows and sun roofs. And then New Brunswick vehicles have all the power outlets for our cell phones, computers and DVD players. We also have navigation systems and powerful stereos. Plus there are all the engine and transmission computers, traction control, stability control, anti-lock brakes, sensors and on and on. Even the security system is running off the battery while the vehicle is turned off. And of course, summer heat in NJ can take a real toll on battery life.
Fortunately, battery technology has given us resilient batteries that are able to meet these strenuous requirements. But the fact is; batteries just wear out over time. Eventually, every battery gets to the point where it cannot hold enough of a charge to start your vehicle. Sometimes car batteries need to be replaced because they have developed a leak.
Replacement batteries come in all shapes and sizes. Some Somerset cars have limited space that requires a specially shaped battery to fit. Larger engines require more powerful batteries to get them started. If you live in a cold climate in NJ, you will need a more powerful battery because engines are harder to start when it is cold.
Batteries come in “good,” “better” and “best” grades. High end auto batteries may have a longer warranty and are guaranteed to last longer. As with most things in Somerset, paying a little more up front saves money in the long run. Ask your friendly and knowledgeable Restas Auto Care service advisor to test your battery and advise you on how much life it has left.
