When you turn the key in the ignition, you’re expecting your car to roar to life. If you’ve got no lights and no action though, then there’s a pretty good chance that you have a dead battery on your hands. Batteries aren’t designed to last forever, so if you think that your battery might be on its last leg, then you can find a replacement battery today at Premier Nissan Mall of Georgia.
When you throw a new set of batteries in the remote, you can expect them to last for a short while before giving out. Your car battery can last for years though, as it’s slowly being recharged by other parts of your car, like your alternator. Some drivers assume that all of their power comes from the battery, but the battery is just a storage device. If you’re noticing that your battery is constantly dying, then it could be due to the battery itself, or you might have a damaged alternator. It’s also important to determine if you’re the problem, first. If you leave your doors slightly ajar, or you leave something on in your cabin, then it’s only a matter of time before your battery dies. It doesn’t get recharged unless the car is running, which is why leaving your headlights or other electrical devices on will slowly kill it.
If you left the lights on, then you might be the reason why your battery is refusing to work. This isn’t the only thing that can kill a battery though, as they can stop working once they get old enough. They can also stop working when they’re dealing with corrosion. This is an extremely common issue that usually affects the terminals of your battery. If you think that your battery might be corroded, then you can let our team handle it for you today. If you’re near Buford or Sugar Hill, then our dealership is one short trip away. Our mechanics will be able to inspect your model for any signs of wear, and they can test your battery itself with a voltmeter. If your battery turns out to be the issue and you need a new one, then our parts department can help you find a suitable replacement.
Depending on what’s going on with your vehicle, your battery might not actually be the problem. For example, your alternator charges your battery as you drive with the help of your serpentine belt. If either the serpentine belt or the alternator gives out, then it’s going to cut off your battery’s supply of electricity. If you do have lights in your cabin, but your vehicle still won’t start, then it could just as easily be your starter that’s causing the issue. This small motor has a massive role, as your engine won’t start without it. If the motor itself, or the relay gets damaged, then you’re going to hear that dreaded clicking sound when you try to start your vehicle.
