Battery Service & Replacement
Like people, car batteries age over time and have a finite lifespan. Even in ideal operating conditions, batteries gradually deteriorate until they can no longer provide enough power to start an engine. Automobile usage patterns also contribute to battery aging. Cars driven mostly on short trips may not allow the battery to fully recharge, and batteries in vehicles parked for extended periods naturally self-discharge.
Once a battery reaches three years of age, have it tested annually. The test will identify if the battery has deteriorated to the point where replacement is recommended to prevent an unexpected failure.
If you are unsure if your car battery should be changed, give us a call at Caspian Mechanical and we can inspect it for you.
Schedule a Car Battery Service Check
To avoid being stranded by a battery problem in harsh Edmonton winters, have the battery inspected at every oil change to make sure the cable connections are clean and tight, and the hold down hardware is secure. At Caspian Mechanical we can quickly check how much power is left in your battery, specifically the cold cranking amps (CCA), so you can crank the engine everytime successfully whether its -30°C or +25°C.
