Batteries
A car battery is an electrical storage
device it doesn't make electricity it
simply stores the power until you are
ready to use it.
We have a large stock of batteries for any
vehicle. Contact us for a quote.
When starting the car, the battery supplies
power to the starter motor to turn the engine
over. At the same time, more power from the
battery is supplied to the spark, or glow plugs
to ignite the fuel mixture compressed in the
engine cylinders to make it run by itself. The
battery power used during starting is then
replaced by the alternator, which supplies the
bulk of electrical current to your car's electrical
systems, keeping a healthy battery fully
charged.
As well as having to start the car the battery
has to power all the in-car technology items like
air conditioning, digital music players, satellite
navigation systems and other electronic
gadgetry. This all increases the demand on
cars’ battery and charging system gradually
degrading the battery. Consequently more
frequent checks are recommended so that
your car battery is maintained at its’ optimum
working level.
The demand from a battery is at its highest
staring a car on a cold winters morning. This is
when an unhealthy battery can let you down.
Regular battery checks can help identify and
prevent premature ‘battery failure’, which can
result in a vehicle breakdown at these most
inconvenient times.
