“What battery should I replace my old one with?”

Cost is a top-of-mind concern for many drivers but getting the cheapest battery may cost you more in the long run. This is because a battery with higher battery capacity, battery life, and length of battery warranty typically costs more. However, if it provides better battery longevity, it will be worth the few extra dollars upfront.

What makes a good car battery?

A good battery for your vehicle is one that:

• Sits flush in the battery tray. Batteries that don’t fit properly often get damaged from excess vibration.
• Meets or exceeds the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating recommended in your vehicle’s owner’s manual.
• Has sufficient Reserve Capacity (RC). The RC determines how long electrical accessories can run while preserving enough power to start your engine.

• Offers the most capacity possible.This is especially important for driving in the extreme cold, which Crown Point East drivers do. The colder the temperature gets below freezing, the less effective a battery’s performance typically is.

• For example, if a battery operates at 100% of its cranking power at +27ºC, by the time the temperature drops to -18ºC, it will have lost about 40% of its power. Even if it was fully charged to begin with.

Other important battery information

Today’s automobiles are far more advanced than those ones from before 1920. But even though vehicles are more efficient than ever before, they’re also a lot tougher on batteries. This is largely because of the various internal systems. Because of this, it’s wise to schedule regular battery maintenance, to inspect your battery and your vehicle’s electronic functions. With our changing seasons, cold winters and short hot, and humid summers, your vehicles battery gets used a lot- heat, air conditioning, defrost, all place wear on the battery system.
