Car Batteries
Your car battery is the single source of energy for all electrical parts in your vehicle. While it is widely known that the car battery provides energy to the ignition, it is also important to note that all other electrical equipment in the car relies on the battery too. Therefore, you must have a fully functional battery in pristine condition. At Mt Pritchard Auto Electrical, our team of professionals will perform repair, maintenance, and replacement services to ensure your car battery is up to date and safe to use.

The Functions Of A Car Battery
A car battery performs many functions, including providing power to the starter motor, ignition system, fuel system, and all other electrical components. To achieve optimal performance every time you drive your car and avoid potential damage to its electrical system, you must keep your battery in good condition.
We provide the following services to ensure your battery remains in optimal condition:
- Checking the alternator belt tension
- Checking the wear of the alternator belt
- Checking the electrolyte level in your battery
- Tightening any loose clamps and terminals
- Removing corrosion
What Causes Car Battery Problems?
- Vibrations from severe off-road driving, which erodes the car battery plates
- A lack of use – if a vehicle is parked for long periods and only driven a short distance, the battery will stop working
- Overcharging the car battery can shorten its life
- Overuse – leaving your car lights on if your engine is not running
While these causes will require a new battery, knowing when a change is needed is important. Typical signs include:
- Warning lights on the car’s dashboard
- Hearing only a ticking sound when trying to start your vehicle
- The wrong voltage or an issue with your alternator
While car batteries typically last between 3-5 years, flat or damaged batteries are the top cause of roadside breakdowns. Hence, to ensure your vehicle remains in pristine condition, our experts will inspect your cat battery and inform you whether it is time for a replacement.
