MOPAR® Battery Service in Sanford, FL

Dodge cars have helped drivers discover the joy of the open road, RAM trucks make the toughest jobs seem easy, and Jeep® SUVs slake our thirst for adventure. As different as these brands may be, they all share one thing in common-their batteries are just as important as their engines when it comes to delivering excellent performance.

All Dodge, RAM, and Jeep vehicles require routine battery service on occasion to preserve their legendary reliability.

Why Car Batteries Need Service

Your car battery generates electricity through a series of chemical reactions. Besides ensuring that your vehicle starts reliably, a MOPAR®-approved battery also protects your electrical systems from fluctuations and surges that could cause damage.

Most drivers don't realize that their car batteries keep doing their job even when a vehicle is turned off. That self-discharge gradually contributes to wear, as well as evaporation and corrosion. That's why it's important to top off, clean, and occasionally even charge your battery to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

Prolonging Car Battery Life

Our MOPAR parts specialists can tell you that car batteries last about five to six years under average use. However, that's just an average; with proper maintenance, they can last a bit longer, while neglect or improper use could cause them to fail far sooner.

So, what can you do? Here are some helpful tips:

• Park in a cool, insulated area. Temperature swings degrade performance, so it's best to keep your vehicle insulated from those fluctuations.
• Give your vehicle the proper upgrades. Certain activities, like towing, heavy hauling, and spending time in stop-and-go traffic, take a toll on your battery. Make sure to give it the care it needs.
• Avoid using headlights, your dome light, or your infotainment system for extended periods of time. All of these electrical systems can exhaust your battery if they're left on while your engine isn't running.
