Dodge & Ram Car and Truck Batteries at Larry H. Miller in Peoria, AZ

The Right Batteries for Your Car or Tuck in Peoria, AZ

Batteries come in all different shapes and sizes, but all of them have a lifespan and will eventually die out if not replaced. The batteries of your Dodge or Ram are certainly no exception and should be replaced once every three years to prevent any mechanical or reliability issues with the vehicle itself. However, with proper maintenance, the battery's lifespan can last longer than this. After about five years, a battery could become wholly unreliable, which is why maintenance and replacement is advised once every three years or so. Fortunately for you, we have the right batteries and some great technicians ready to get the job done at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria, so schedule a maintenance appointment here at our service center when your car or truck battery requires replacement.

Battery Maintenance is Important

In between replacements, to ensure your battery lasts as long as possible, your technician may inspect the battery to keep it free from corrosion and to make sure its electrolytes are balanced. If your battery has not reached the expiry point, then you may ask for maintenance during your next scheduled appointment. However, if you are unsure when your battery was replaced last, you should keep in mind the tell-tale warning signs of a failing battery, such as an unresponsive or excessively stalling engine, fading headlight strength, and decreasing fuel efficiency.

In order to keep your battery pumping out energy for as long as possible, here are a few tips to preserve its lifespan:

• Shut off headlights/air conditioning, even when engine itself is inactive
• Ask for battery testing/maintenance at next service appointment
• If you are not a frequent driver, take the vehicle out at least once a week- an inactive vehicle can drain battery life long-term
• If you drive on a bumpy road, check your battery to ensure it is connected properly
• Check to ensure battery's casings/wires are free from dirt, dust, corrosion
