A vehicle's battery is what allows it to start up in the morning before school or when you are ready to leave work. After providing an initial bolt of energy, the alternator provides power to the electrical components within the vehicle. The battery is also recharged while the car is running by the alternator.
Generally, a car battery can last for up to five years before it needs to be replaced. However, the exact timing depends on a variety of factors including weather conditions and whether the battery is used to power electrical components when the vehicle is not running.
If you find that your car battery is not working properly, it may be a good idea to bring it in for service as soon as possible. A technician from Rountree-Moore Ford Lincoln in Lake City, FL can either diagnose a battery issue or put a new one in your vehicle. Schedule your appointment today!
