Car Battery Replacement in Dayton, OH

Battery Service FAQs

Rather than wonder why your battery is failing, read these common questions our service technicians get, and their answers.

What are the most common signs that my battery is failing?

If your engine seems to take forever to start, or your lights dim when you turn on the climate control, your battery likely needs replacing. Age also plays a factor, since most batteries only deliver about three years of service before they need to be replaced.

Does weather have anything to do with my battery dying?

Absolutely! Extreme temperatures -- both hot and cold -- can do terrible things to a battery. It's always a good idea to have your battery tested after a long, cold winter to ensure that it's ready for spring and the summer months ahead.

Do short drives help or hurt my battery?

If your daily driving is mostly just commuting around Dayton or Fairborn and you don't drive for longer than 20 minutes or so, you could be doing your battery wrong. Taking a longer drive helps to completely recharge your battery, while multiple short trips place more demand on it.
