New car batteries start as low as $170. The exact cost will vary depending on your vehicle&apos;s year, make, and model as well as the complexity of the installation. For a personalized quote and expert assistance with battery replacement, contact your local Belle Tire store today or schedule an appointment for an inspection. Our team is here to help keep your car running smoothly!

How much is a new car battery?

A vehicle battery can fail if unused for long periods, as it slowly discharges over time. Parasitic drains, where voltage is drawn when the engine isn&rsquo;t running, also contribute. Cold weather adds strain, requiring more amperage to start the engine while reducing battery efficiency. Electrolyte loss, caused by rapid temperature shifts or engine movement, can expose battery cells to air, leading to sudden failure. Alternator issues, like overcharging or undercharging, can either leak electrolyte or force the electrical system to rely solely on the battery, causing rapid depletion.

What are the causes of battery failure?

Luckily, there are a few simple ways to see if your battery might be on its last legs. Dim headlights or a slow-cranking engine (when it&rsquo;s not freezing out) are common signs. For a precise check, use a battery tester&mdash;it connects like jumper cables and shows the remaining charge. You can keep one in your toolkit or stop by Belle Tire, where our skilled technicians can test it for you!

How do I know if my battery is dying?

Hearing a click or buzz when you try to start the car is a sign that your battery is likely dead. A radio, headlights or windshield wipers that won&rsquo;t turn on when the key is in the ignition is another indicator that the battery&rsquo;s charge is probably depleted. If you inspect the battery and see that it appears to be swollen or fatter than normal, it&rsquo;s likely been overcharged and will need to be replaced. Finally, if you notice a faint smell of sulfur or rotten eggs, your battery might be toast. Luckily, Belle Tire can help you find the right replacement.

How can I tell if I have a dead battery?

It&rsquo;s important to remember that you shouldn&rsquo;t do any inspection or cleaning with the engine running or keys in the ignition. When doing a visual inspection, look to see if the battery cables and clamps are frayed or corroded. If you notice either of these things, it&rsquo;s wise to have a Belle Tire professional take a look and see if they need to be replaced, or simply cleaned up. Also, if you notice any cracks at all in the battery case, it&rsquo;s important to have it replaced, regardless of how it&rsquo;s performing. In general, a battery that&rsquo;s kept clean and secure lasts longer than one that&rsquo;s ignored and neglected.

How do I inspect my battery?

Determining the right replacement battery is crucial to keeping your vehicle running smoothly and protecting its sensitive electrical systems. The best way to determine the specific needs for a new battery is to check your vehicle owner&rsquo;s manual or consult the specifications of your old battery from the manufacturer. This will help you determine if you need a deep cycle or starting battery, the correct battery size, and the CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) rating.

What should I be looking for in a replacement battery?

This is a very important question that can have varying answers. But on the whole, you can expect a car battery to last between three and five years. At around three years of use, it&rsquo;s wise to get your battery tested. After five years, batteries can be prone to fail without notice, so it&rsquo;s best to think about replacing it.

How long do batteries last?

When the key is turned (or button pushed), this sends a signal to your vehicle&rsquo;s battery. The signal informs the battery that it&rsquo;s time to convert some of its chemical energy into electrical energy. The electricity generated as a result of this conversion is delivered to the starter to crank the engine. The vehicle&rsquo;s lights and other electrical accessories also receive the power they need, and you&rsquo;re off and running (or in this case, driving).
