Why Regular Battery Testing is Essential

Battery health can be influenced by several factors, including age, climate, and driving habits. Regular testing is essential to ensure your battery maintains its performance, especially during colder months when battery strain increases. A weak or failing battery can lead to inconvenient breakdowns, impact the reliability of onboard electronics, and even shorten the lifespan of your vehicle’s electrical components. At Reynolds of Selby, we conduct thorough battery tests to assess overall condition and capacity, ensuring you receive the most dependable performance from your battery.

1. Battery Health Assessment and Diagnostics

Using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, we perform a comprehensive health check to determine the condition of your battery. Our testing evaluates factors such as voltage, cold cranking amps (CCA), and charging capacity, providing a clear picture of your battery’s reliability. This assessment helps prevent future issues by indicating whether a replacement is needed before a complete failure occurs.

2. High-Quality Battery Replacement

If your battery shows signs of deterioration, we offer battery replacement services with a selection of high-quality batteries from trusted brands. Each replacement battery is carefully chosen to match your vehicle’s specifications, ensuring long-lasting performance and compatibility. Our technicians install and secure the new battery, running tests to ensure it meets the necessary standards for safety and reliability.

3. Alternator and Charging System Check

A properly functioning battery relies on the alternator and charging system to maintain power while driving. As part of our battery service, we test the alternator’s output and inspect the charging system, identifying any issues that could drain or damage the battery. By checking these components, we ensure your new battery remains healthy and fully charged.

4. Corrosion Cleaning and Terminal Maintenance

Corrosion can build up on battery terminals over time, hindering connectivity and reducing battery efficiency. As part of our service, we clean corrosion from terminals and apply a protective coating to prevent future build-up. This additional maintenance step helps improve battery longevity and ensures optimal power flow.

5. Old Battery Disposal

At Reynolds of Selby, we take care of environmentally responsible disposal for old batteries. We safely remove and dispose of your old battery, ensuring compliance with all environmental regulations for recycling and disposal.
