When should I replace My Car Battery?

Car Batteries by Gary’s Automotive

Question from Gary’s Automotive customer, Lauren:
When do I need to replace my car battery?

Gary's Automotive Answer:
Car batteries eventually wear out and need to be replaced.

If your battery is dying and you need a jump-start, it could very well be that you have a bad battery. Laurel drivers can count on Gary's Automotive, we always provide a Free computerized diagnostic test first to see if the battery is actually the problem. The problem could be parasitic drain or a faulty alternator that's not properly charging your battery.


You can count on our ASE certified mechanics to test the alternator as as well. A surprisingly high percentage of vehicles brought to Gary’s Automotive in Laurel MD with an alternator light or battery light illuminated on the dash, actually has a problem due to something else. The problem is sometimes just a worn serpentine belt or a bad belt tensioner. If the belt is slipping, it's not spinning the alternator properly so it can't fully charge the battery.


If a Laurel driver has a battery or alternator problem, they can rest assured that our ASE certified mechanics will get to the root of the problem. Regardless if it is a dead battery, a worn serpentine belt, a worn belt tensioner or a bad alternator.

That brings us back full circle to when batteries do fail. There is a myth that cold weather is what kills them. Nothing could be further from the truth. High summer temperatures in MD actually weaken it. The battery will fail in winter because it is unable to meets the increased demand required by the cold temperatures.
