Battery Inspection Service

Hyundai Car Battery Checks

At Suntrup Hyundai, we provide an in-depth review of your battery, connections and more. One test measures your car battery voltage to check its overall health, and we determine how much battery charge is remaining. Your car battery features multiple cells, and a loss of voltage in any one can lead to issues with your electrical components. Other battery problems can include the development of corrosion near the terminals and loose connections. We can clean the terminals using a specialty tool and also determine the reason for corrosion to prevent it from developing again. Should a new battery be required, we also feature a full inventory of original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, options for replacement.

Battery Inspection Reasons

Outside of a random accident or a contribution from an outside component, such as the alternator, car batteries rarely go out all at one time. They display warning signs, such as slow starts or low voltage readings. Regular testing of the system and paying attention to potential issues can help diagnose correctable issues, such as corrosion or a loose connection before they lead to battery decline. When the battery is nearing the end of its useful life, early diagnosis allows us to help you avoid a complete loss of power at a random time.

Battery Check Frequency

A battery check should be scheduled every six months or two times per year. The timing makes it easy to book a battery review with other necessary routine maintenance appointments to maximize your time. Ideally, one inspection should occur shortly before the cold weather starts to ensure you have the cranking amps and voltage necessary for starting on brisk winter days. If you start to notice a delay in cranking or problems with your electrical system, always schedule an in-between appointment to avoid larger issues or a complete loss of battery power.
