Battery FAQs

How often should a battery be replaced?

The service life of a battery varies from one vehicle to another and it depends on many factors. If the performance of the vehicle’s starting system is poor, or if a failure is shown on the dashboard instrumentation, take the vehicle to a workshop to have the electrical system / starter system checked.

If you install additional electrical equipment in the vehicle, such as amplifiers, navigation systems, electrical window openers, etc., be sure to also install a battery with a larger capacity. The original size of the battery suggested by the vehicle manufacturer corresponds to the original equipment of the car. Additional electrical equipment will use up more energy from the battery and this will result in a permanent state of low charge if you do not install a larger battery. A permanent state of low charge will result in the reduction of the service life of your battery.
