Car Batteries Hamilton
Is your battery on the blink? Don’t get caught out. Test and replace your battery with Marshall Automotive.
After the engine, the battery is the most important part of your vehicle, but unfortunately, it has a limited lifespan. Like your laptop or phone battery, vehicle batteries lose their capacity to hold a charge over time. And most manufacturers advise that your car battery be replaced every 3-4 years.
Don’t wait until the day you wake up to a dead battery, for testing and car battery replacement Hamilton, get in touch with Marshall Automotive.
Why Replace Your Car Battery?
When it comes to the old saying “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it”, your car battery is the exception. One of the most apparent signs of a battery that isn’t holding its charge is that it will struggle to start your vehicle, leaving you with a car that potentially won’t start. But that’s far from the only issue that can arise.
Replacing your battery when it’s on its way out will also improve your vehicle’s performance and prevent potential issues. A depleted battery is unable to give current to the car's headlights, taillights, and cabin lighting, a problem you may well not realise until it’s too late.

How Do I Know My Battery Needs Replacing?
If your car battery is 3-4 years old, it’s likely time to replace it. But, you don’t need to rely on your calendar alone to decide if your battery is on the blink. Some of the main signs that your battery is failing are:
- Inadequate headlights and internal lighting.
- Car not reliably starting on the first ignition.
- When the key is turned, you hear odd noises.
- The battery has an odd and acidic odour
While these are some of the key indications to look out for, an even easier option is to get a health check at Marshall Automotive.
