DO I NEED A CAR BATTERY REPLACEMENT?

Posted on March 3, 2020 in Uncategorized

Your vehicle's battery is the energy storage device that produce electricity to start your vehicle and keep it running. The battery is what provides the electricity to actually operate the starter motor, ignition system, and fuel system. Once the engine is up and running, the alternator of the charging system will supply your electrical components with the electricity they need and it will also charge the battery by recycling energy as your vehicle travels.

If you've gotten into your car and your car won't start, you may be wondering if you need a car battery replacement? The answer is, maybe! While the issue could be with the battery itself, the issue could also stem from your vehicle starting system, bad spark plugs, and more.
