A. Crivelli Ford Explains the Importance of Battery Services

Franklin drivers are probably aware that their car battery is a vital part of their car's health. However, many do not know why it is important or when to get their battery serviced. The A. Crivelli Ford team wants Grove City drivers to get familiar with the signs that their battery may be low on power to avoid larger problems in the future, like getting stranded with a dead battery on a busy day.

Your battery is the reason your car can fully turn on and operate. Yes, the engine pulls the mechanics together, but your engine won't even turn over without proper battery power. Your battery powers your lights and radio and circulates voltage throughout the car. The battery also communicates with the engine to let it know that it's time to turn over when the key is in the ignition. Overall, your car's battery life is one of the most important pieces under the hood.

Signs Your Battery Power is Running Low & What Stoneboro Drivers Should Do

The rule of thumb is to get your battery checked or changed roughly every 20,000 miles. But there are a few tell-tale signs that your battery is running low. While your battery power slowly decreases over time, it is important to address it as soon as you realize there is an issue because low power can become no power with one mistaken light left on. Here are a few signs Harrisville drivers should get their battery checked out at A. Crivelli Ford Inc.:

• Dimming or flickering interior lights
• Check Engine light is on
• Engine is slow to turn over
• Rotton smell (weird, but true!)
• Your battery is misshapen
• The battery connectors are corroded

These are a few of the major tell-tale signs your car needs a new battery. Even if your battery isn't showing signs of slowing down, get it checked every 20,000 miles or so and ensure all your car lights are off every time you leave your vehicle. When it is time to opt-in for a new battery, trust the A. Crivelli Ford Inc. service team.
