A flat battery is one of the most common causes of breakdown in the UK, and yet it's entirely preventable with a simple test. At Norwich Tyres & Auto Service, we test and replace batteries for all vehicle makes and models, usually on the same day.

Not all car batteries are the same, and fitting the wrong type can cause problems with modern vehicles:
Standard lead-acid (SLI): Suitable for older vehicles without stop-start systems. Cost-effective and widely available.
EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery): Designed for vehicles with basic stop-start systems. Better charge acceptance and cycle life than standard SLI batteries.
AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat): Required for vehicles with advanced stop-start systems, regenerative braking or high electrical loads. Significantly more cycle-resistant than standard batteries. Always required where AGM was fitted as original equipment.
We'll identify the correct battery specification for your vehicle and advise on the best option within your budget. Never downgrade from AGM to a standard battery - it can cause charging system faults and premature failure.

Most car batteries last between 3-5 years, though this varies with driving conditions, vehicle electrical demands and battery quality. Frequent short journeys that don't allow the battery to fully recharge can shorten battery life significantly.
Cold weather significantly reduces battery capacity and increases the current required to start the engine. A battery that starts the car reliably in summer may fail on a cold winter morning. If your car struggles to start in cold weather, get the battery tested - it's likely reaching the end of its life.
On older, simpler vehicles, yes. However, many modern cars require the new battery to be registered to the vehicle's management system - a process that requires specialist diagnostic equipment. Without registration, the alternator may overcharge the battery and shorten its life. We recommend professional fitting for most modern vehicles.
