What car battery do I need?

The key things to be aware of when shopping for a car battery replacement are the battery size, amperage, and position of the connectors. Luckily, our handy number plate lookup feature will be able to narrow down your search to find the right car battery by your reg.

How long does a car battery last?

Car batteries usually last for around three to five years. After this time, an old battery will gradually deteriorate storing less power than when first purchased. Depending on your usage, your battery could deteriorate earlier than expected. If your car struggles to start on cold days, takes a while to turn over, or if the battery light has come on, it may be time for a replacement car battery. It’s also worth noting that if your battery doesn’t recharge it could be a sign that your alternator needs replacing instead.

How to charge a car battery

While a car battery that goes flat may need replacing, a lot of the time it simply needs charging. This could be the case if you’ve accidentally left the lights on for a long period or you haven’t used the vehicle in a while. To charge the car battery, simply disconnect your car battery (disconnecting the negative lead first), connect the charger, and leave it to charge. You should charge your car battery for around 10 – 24 hours, depending on the make of your vehicle.
