What Does a Car Battery Do?

Your car’s battery is an essential component of your vehicle's overall health and function, which is why it’s important to educate yourself about it. Some of the primary functions of a car battery include starting the engine, powering electrical components, and supporting the alternator. These are very essential functions so your car can work. Along with these things, the battery also stores electrical energy to be delivered to your vehicle when necessary and utilizes voltage regulation in order to maintain stable levels for the entire system within the vehicle. Paired with this is the partnership of the battery with the alternator as it charges the battery while the engine is running. If your battery is not healthy, odds are your vehicle will be in for some upcoming troubles on Route 10. You can see us to receive a battery test and inspection today!

Battery Test Process

When you come visit us, our technicians will utilize a battery test to test the power level of your vehicle’s battery. This includes assessing and testing the voltage range as well as the charging functions of the battery. After this test, we will be able to determine the overall health of your vehicle’s battery which will determine either how much longer you have until it needs replacement, or if your vehicle needs a battery replacement as soon as possible. We have great staff that will be able to provide you with quick and optimal service to test your vehicle’s battery health. 

Battery Inspection Process

Following testing, our technicians will inspect and clean the battery to remove any found corrosion, dirt, or other debris from it or any other connecting cables to ensure healthy electrical connections. We will also check to see if there is any damage to the engine from anything related to the battery. If there is no found damage, but the battery is still draining power, then we will move on to check the interior and cargo of your vehicle to see if there are any other sources behind the draining of your car’s battery when the vehicle is not running. At Archer Kia, we offer an Express Service option that includes a battery test among other services performed in 60 minutes or less! You can schedule an appointment for a battery test and inspection with us so you can be on your merry way to Smither Park in no time. We would be happy to serve you quickly and efficiently.
