WHAT IF MY BATTERY IS NEW
If your vehicle won't start with a fully-charged and healthy battery that has clean connectors, the program can be with the starter, your alternator, your ignition switch, your spark plugs or your fuses.
​
WHAT CAN CAUSE MY BATTERY TO NOT HOLD A CHARGE
-
Corrosion around the battery terminals: Visually inspect the terminals and clean away corrosion safely.
-
Something's draining your battery: Check every light switch, door (liftgate included), and lighted compartment in your vehicle to make sure nothing is draining the battery.
-
Old Battery: Every car battery has a finite charging capacity, testable with a voltmeter machine.
-
A bad alternator: The alternator is responsible for recharging your battery as you drive, so it's one of the first mechanical problems to check.
-
Other defective vehicle parts: From the fuses to the serpentine belt.
​
WHEN SHOULD I REPLACE MY VECHILES BATTERY
-
Your battery won't accept a charge: You hear rapid clicks instead of your engine cranking -- and jump-starting doesn't help. You'll need a new battery to get rolling again.
-
Your battery can't hold a charge: Jump-starting works, but you have to jump-start repeatedly. Replace your battery as soon as you can. You're at risk of being stranded.
-
Your battery shows low voltage on a voltmeter.
