Has your car’s battery been giving you some trouble lately? It might be time to order a new battery from James Martin Chevrolet, where we have Chevy parts for any repair or upgrade. Before you purchase your car battery, keep these three things in mind.
1. Warranty and Brand
Not all batteries are created equally, as some manufacturers use different materials and specialize in certain types. One of the biggest ways a battery can differ from others is the warranty they provide. At James Martin Chevrolet, our Chevy battery service includes a 30-month free-replacement limited warranty.
2. Reserve Capacity
Reserve capacity refers to the number of minutes a 12V battery will run before it drops down to 10.5V. The reserve capacity helps determine the overall lifespan of the battery but can also come into play if the car alternator fails. The reserve capacity measurement is used to determine how long a battery can last under a sustained load.
3. Battery Size
Battery size is an important element to consider. Battery size is labeled with a number or alphanumeric name. Each number refers to a predetermined measurement. This is important to know, as not all battery compartments within a vehicle are the same dimensions. If you ever have questions about what size battery is needed for your Chevrolet car, our service and parts department is available to help find the right one for you.
