Battery Testing - What We Check

Our battery testing service uses professional diagnostic equipment to give a comprehensive picture of your battery's health:

  • Voltage test: A fully charged battery should read around 12.6V at rest. Below 12.4V indicates undercharging; below 12V suggests significant deterioration.
  • Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): The key measure of a battery's ability to start a cold engine. We compare your battery's measured CCA against its rated CCA to assess how much capacity has been lost.
  • Charge acceptance test: An older battery may accept a charge but discharge rapidly - this test helps identify batteries that appear charged but won't hold power under load.
  • Alternator output test: If your battery keeps going flat, the alternator may not be charging it properly. We check alternator output as part of our battery diagnosis to identify root causes.

After testing, we provide a clear recommendation - if your battery is healthy, we'll tell you. If it needs replacing, we'll show you the test results and explain the options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you dispose of old batteries safely?

Yes - all old batteries are disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations. Car batteries contain lead and sulphuric acid and must not be disposed of in general waste. We handle this as part of every battery replacement service.

What causes a battery to drain overnight?

Overnight battery drain is usually caused by a parasitic draw - an electrical component that stays active when the ignition is off. Common culprits include interior lights, boot lights, aftermarket accessories and faulty control modules. We can diagnose parasitic draw and identify the cause.

How long does a car battery last?

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.
