Warning Signs
Before we dive into the details of testing and replacing a battery, you should know how to tell that issues are arising. First of all, if your car won’t start on a cold Lancaster morning, then the battery is likely to blame. Check underneath the hood to look at the terminals on the part. If there is rust or corrosion building up on them, then it may be time to swap it out for a newer battery. Another warning sign that you can watch out for is flickering lights. If your illuminators have a hard time staying on while you drive down Route 222, then the power supply of your vehicle may be wearing thin.
Test

When you do, we will begin by using a multimeter to determine the current power level of your battery. Anything below 12.6V is usually too low, so we will charge it up for you. Then, we’ll test the rate at which the energy depletes from the component. If it can’t sustain a charge, it is time to get a new one. Car batteries usually last three to five years, but feel free to examine your Owner’s Manual for more information. Also, contact us to ask us any questions you may have.
