How Does a Car Battery Work?
It's no question that a vehicle's battery is essential for keeping your car running. At DMC Automotive Repair, we are experts in servicing car batteries, whether it be a battery in your Dodge, GMC, RAM, Toyota, or any other make. In addition to battery service, we also perform other services like tune-ups, truck repair, scheduled maintenance, and transmission repair.
Your car's battery provides energy to power your car's electronic system, which includes parts such as your car's sound system, air conditioning, and more. Energy is also stored in the battery to turn your vehicle on. Once the car is on, a series of reactions start in the battery, which generates electricity. Your car's alternator continues generating electrons to keep powering the battery. A standard battery contains twelve grids on six SLI battery cells, which means there are two grids per cell. Each cell emits two volts of electricity, which means the battery produces twelve volts of electricity in total.
How Do I Know If My Battery Needs Servicing or Needs to Be Replaced?
You don't want to be stuck in the middle of the road with a dead battery, especially in Ventura, California, Oxnard, California, Camarillo, California, Ojai, California, and Carpinteria, California. If you think your battery might be failing, feel free to bring your car to DMC Automotive Repair, and we can perform a battery system test to verify the strength of your battery and determine if it needs to be replaced. Here are some signs to look out for that indicate a failing or weak battery:
Dim headlights: One of the most obvious signs of a weak battery is the decrease in the performance of your vehicle's electrical components, including your headlights. If you notice that your headlights are dim or other electrical components have slowed down, feel free to bring your vehicle to DMC Automotive Repair in Ventura, CA 93003.
Your vehicle's battery light turns on: While this could also mean there is a problem with your alternator, your car's battery light on the dashboard turning on most likely means there is an issue with your battery.
Your car will not turnover or start: If you turn the key or press the start button and hear clicking coming from under the hood, or the car does not respond at all, you may have a dead battery. It is important to have your dead battery tested at DMC Automotive Repair to determine whether it needs to be replaced or simply charged.
