Why You Should Replace a Weak Battery

How Long Does a Car Battery Last?

The length of time your car battery will last depends on a few things, like how heavily the battery gets used, the quality of your current battery, the weather conditions you use it in, and the type of vehicle you drive. If your car battery is over 5 years old (the average auto car battery around Roxbury lasts about 4 years), you should bring your Toyota into the Towne Toyota Service Center in Ledgewood to have it tested. Our car battery service technicians will perform a test that will tell you how strong the battery is.

Benefits of Having a Towne Toyota Service Technician Replace Your Battery 

There are other car issues that will show the same signs and symptoms of a weak car battery. Sometimes other items like loose or corroded wires or connections, a loose alternator belt, a faulty alternator or bad starter will show up as symptoms of a weak or dead battery, when that isn't the case. If you replace your car battery before testing it and checking for these other conditions, you'll find that the problem will persist and your new battery will drain quickly.

Bringing your Toyota to a battery service technician at our award-winning service center in Ledgewood means you will be able to tell if your battery is weak, or if the problem is an extra drain on the electrical system being caused by a bad component. This can save you from replacing your car battery unnecessarily.
