Keep Your Land Rover in Top Condition with Routine
Battery Maintenance at Land Rover Lake Bluff
Many vehicles are made up of numerous parts that
ensure it runs smoothly and without issue. If one of those parts were to fail,
that can lead to various issues and might cost more money if they aren't
addressed immediately. Nothing can affect the performance of your SUV more than
a faulty battery. It powers not only the car itself but ensures that all of
your modern technology stays in perfect working condition. As the owner of a
Land Rover, being able to effortlessly use your favorite features and benefits
might be overlooked as a convenience but that doesn't mean you wouldn't notice
if you no longer had access to them.
How To Tell If Your Battery Needs to be Serviced
When it comes to your battery's health, there are a
few different warning signs you should pay attention to.
Age
of the Battery
A
typical battery can last between four to five years and is usually beginning to
lose power by this point. There are several factors that can affect the
lifespan of the battery and shorten it including harsh weather conditions and
how often you use your vehicle. If it spends long periods sitting in a garage
without being used, the battery doesn't get enough charge and tends to have
issues starting or maintaining power.
Starting
Issues
If
you're trying to start your car but you notice that it is having difficulty
turning over, that can be an indication that your battery needs to be serviced
or replaced. Multiple attempts mean your battery might not have enough power to
get the engine running smoothly.
Dim
Lights
As
mentioned above, the battery is responsible for all of the electrical devices
in your SUV. If you notice dimming lights or a performance that lags behind a
normal output, that could mean your battery is having issues. If the radio cuts
out or if your power seats aren't responding, that can also be a sign that your
battery needs to be looked at.
