Frequently Asked Questions

The average lifespan of a modern car battery is usually between 3 to 5 years. Factors like extreme temperatures, frequent short trips, and the use of heavy electrical accessories can shorten this lifespan.

Key signs include the engine being slow to turn over when starting, dimming headlights or dash lights when the engine is off, or the battery warning light appearing on your dashboard.

Yes, they do. Stop/Start systems require specialist batteries known as AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) or EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery). These batteries are designed to handle frequent cycling and deeper discharges. Fitting the wrong type can severely damage the system and the battery itself.

While a flat battery can often be recharged, if it has been deeply discharged multiple times, or if it is nearing the end of its life, its ability to hold a charge will be permanently reduced. Our health check at Bassaguard Garage will determine if recharging is viable or if a full replacement is required.
