Battery Changes Cameron Missouri

Schedule Battery Replacement at Our Chevrolet Service Center in Cameron

The battery in your Chevy car, truck, or SUV works with an alternator to power its starter by sending current to the ignition and fuel system. That way, the starter's motor can charge, its flywheel can rotate, the vehicle's crankshaft can turn, and its engine pistons can pump, starting the engine and keeping it running. If the ride you love to drive isn't starting or running quite right, it may be time to change the battery. You can rely on the pros at Randy Curnow Chevrolet Cameron to help diagnose and solve the problem.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chevy Battery Maintenance

When to replace a car battery depends on your driving habits and conditions. We recommend swapping out the old for the new every three to five years at least.

Lead sulfate crystals can build up on a battery's plates as it drains, making it harder for the battery to hold a charge. Heat can also evaporate the electrolytes that help in charging, not to mention warp the plates, causing the battery to wear out. What's more, cold can lower charge capacity, draining available power over time. Vibrations during driving can even loosen internal connections, making it tougher for the battery to conduct electricity. Electrical draw from accessories can also slowly drain a battery during long periods of disuse, and corroded terminals can prevent proper charging altogether.

Signs and symptoms of a bad battery include:

  • Being unable to start your vehicle, or needing to jump it to start it
  • Exterior and interior lights that are dimmer than usual
  • Features that run off the electrical system not working right (e.g., heated seats, electronics, power windows, the power sunroof or moonroof)
  • A battery warning or Check Engine light on the dash
  • A warped battery case
  • A sulfuric, rotten-egg-like smell, indicating a possible acid leak
  • Powdery or rusty battery terminals

Most Chevy batteries are maintenance-free. However, with lead-acid batteries, you may need to check and top off distilled water levels monthly. If your model runs on an AGM or sealed battery, you may need to monitor its voltage. We recommend keeping battery cables tight and terminals clean to help prevent power loss and not leaving electrical accessories on when the engine's off, as it can drain the battery.
