Auto Battery Replacement in North York, ON

Without a functioning battery, the electrical components of your vehicle will not work. This means you have no way of igniting the gasoline in your engine, nor start an electric engine. Car batteries are very important.

If you have been having car battery trouble, you might be searching, “Car battery repair near North York”, “What’s a good car battery?”, “Auto battery replacement near me”, or something similar. If so, we at R&S Auto can help. Here’s what you need to know about car batteries.

“Can I find car battery repair near me in North York, ON?”

You can! R&S can replace your car’s battery, repair a damaged battery tray, and provide a number of other battery-related services to drivers in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario. But if you are replacing your car’s battery, what kind of battery should you replace it with?

Choosing the right replacement battery

When picking a new battery, cost is often top-of-mind for many drivers. However, getting the cheapest battery might cost you more in the long run. A car battery with higher battery capacity, battery life, and length of battery warranty typically costs more, but this could be your best option. If you get better longevity out of it, it is probably worth it.

What to look for in a car battery

A good battery for your vehicle is one that:

• Sits flush in the battery tray. Batteries that don’t fit properly can suffer damage from excess vibration.
• Meets or exceeds the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating recommended in your vehicle’s owner’s manual.
• Has sufficient Reserve Capacity (RC). This determines how long electrical accessories can run while keeping enough power to start your engine.

• Offers the highest capacity possible. This is especially important for driving in the extreme cold, which North York drivers occasionally have to do. The colder the temperature drops below zero, the less effective a battery’s performance typically is. For example, if a battery operates at 100% of its cranking power at +27ºC, by the time the temperature drops down -18ºC, it will have lost about 40% of its power. This is true even if it was fully charged.

Other things to note about auto batteries

Automobiles are much more efficient than ever before. However, in many ways, they are also a lot tougher on batteries. This is largely because of the many internal systems in today’s vehicles. It is prudent to schedule regular battery maintenance and to have your battery inspected, along with your vehicle’s electronic functions. Summer can also be very tough on batteries due to the heat, air conditioning, and stressful conditions for engines.
