Car battery questions and answers

We’ve compiled a list of questions and answers to aid you in maintaining your car batteries.

• Q: How long does it take to recharge the battery after starting the engine? A: Not very long. A typical 12 volt car battery starts charging almost immediately after the engine starts and can be charged in just a couple of hours. This depends on temperature and weather.
• Q: Does driving short distances flatten my battery? A: Yes, the battery needs some time to charge. If you only have a 5 minute commute with the headlights on and aircon at full blast, your battery is going to take a hit.
• Q: How often will I need car battery replacement service? A: Most batteries should last about 4 years, however it’s good to have a check up with a car battery service after year 3.
• Q: Are dead batteries dangerous? A: Batteries- dead or alive- are full of chemicals. Do nature a favour by disposing of dead batteries responsibly. Alternatively, car battery services will often be able to dispose of dead batteries for you.
