Mitsubishi Battery Inspection Service
A car battery is a very basic, yet extremely important part of your vehicle. Yes, without an engine your car can’t move, but without a battery, your car can’t start. The battery is what powers your vehicle’s entire electrical system, without it you are in quite the pickle. It’s not up for debate that your vehicle’s battery is important, however, what is up for debate is whether or not you need a new battery or a charge for your current battery. The first thing you should think about is how long you’ve had your current battery. Batteries typically last about 4 years but check your owners manual for exact specifications (if you’re currently thinking about how you lost that thing the day after you bought your car, then don’t worry you’re not alone, just give us a call!). The amount of time you’ve had it is a sure tell sign that you might need a new battery. On the other hand, if you’re the battery is dead because you left the lights on all light or didn’t close the trunk all the way, then you will just need a jump.
Signs You Need A New Battery
Now that we have figured out if you fit into the “just a jump” category, it is also a really good idea to know the signs that you for sure need a new battery, and that is where Brooklyn Mitsubishi comes in! Here is a list of the following signs that will indicate that you need a new battery:
- Your battery is over 4 years old
- Your check engine light is on
- Low battery fluid, which can be seen through the transparent section of your battery
- Battery is leaking fluid
