Due to the increased electrical demands on the battery, little warning is given before failure.
Pre-emptive battery replacement can help eliminate many of the costs and problems associated with a flat or end of life battery.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][tireswheels_empty_spaces height_mobile=”60″ height_tablet=”60″ height_desktop=”60″][vc_single_image image=”29093″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1587695899097{padding-right: 60px !important;}”][tireswheels_empty_spaces height_mobile=”60″ height_tablet=”60″ height_desktop=”60″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1587698684219{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #012f75 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Has your car been sitting idle during Lockdown?” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:40px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff|line_height:45px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:900%20bold%20regular%3A900%3Anormal”][vc_custom_heading text=”Make an appointment today at Tyrepower to check your battery for free.” font_container=”tag:p|font_size:35px|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff|line_height:22px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_btn title=”Find your local store” style=”classic” shape=”square” color=”danger” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tyrepower.co.nz%2Fstores-services%2F|||”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][tireswheels_empty_spaces height_mobile=”40px” height_tablet=”40px” height_desktop=”30px”][vc_custom_heading text=”Factors Affecting Battery Life” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:32px|text_align:left|color:%23003a79|line_height:42px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:900%20bold%20regular%3A900%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]As batteries age, they gradually lose their ability to perform their function. The constant charge and discharge eventually leads to failure. Components corrode over time, electrical shorts occur and vibration causes damage; all eventually causing failure.

The usual warning is a slower than normal battery ability to crank the engine. Other less noticeable factors, such as changed driving patterns and colder/hotter weather will all have an effect on the life of a battery.
