Knowing When to Replace the Battery.
When you drive your car each day, you're familiar with typical sounds that it makes down the road. Any unusual sounds will stand out.
Consider these classic signs that your battery needs a replacement, such as:
- Strong odor similar to rotten eggs
- Hesitant upon ignition
- Check engine or battery light lit
If your car isn't driven very often, however, you might have a battery that's deeply discharged. Our Ford car dealership in LaFayette can diagnose your battery so that you can simply charge it up or replace it as necessary.

Caring for Your Car Battery
To keep your car purring like a cat, take care of your car battery with basic observations and adjustments.
Start by verifying that the battery is tightly strapped to the engine. These straps can loosen over time. A loose battery moves around, which leads to a shorter lifespan.
Keep the battery terminals clear of any corrosion. Use a terminal cleaner or a mixture of water and baking soda on the terminals. Carefully scrub away the corrosion with a metal brush.
This corrosion is a common reason for battery failure. Be sure to dry the terminals before connecting them back to the car's leads, recommends Motor Trend.
Testing a Suspect Battery
Our team can test your battery to make sure it's in good health. Bring your car into our dealership or even just the battery. We can perform the work either way.
Testing the battery is a simple process. By using a multimeter tool, we connect our positive electrode to the positive side of the battery. This same process is repeated with the negative side.
Our multimeter tells us if there's a normal 12.6 volts on the battery. If it shows less than 12 volts, your battery should probably be replaced.
