Schedule ServiceWhat Do I Do If My Battery Is Dead?
If you live near Tuscaloosa County, Bibb County, or Pickens County, and your battery is having issues, then you can stop by our service department at Townsend Nissan today.
- Try Jumpstarting Your Model: If you don’t have a working car, then you’re going to have a hard time visiting us at Townsend Nissan. If you have someone who’s willing to help you, then you may want to try jumpstarting your vehicle. Once it starts, you should take it for a lap around the neighborhood so that your alternator has time to charge your battery.
- Did You Leave Something On?: Your battery can only recharge itself when your alternator is running, so once your vehicle is turned off, it has a limited amount of power. If you left something on, then this could be the reason that your battery is dead. Before you get out of your vehicle, you should make sure that your headlights are off, and that there’s nothing in your cabin that could potentially drain your battery.
Why Won’t My Battery Work?
If your battery isn’t working, then it could be due to:
- Corrosion Around Your Terminals: If your terminals are corroded, then your battery may have to work harder. This can result in problems, but we can clean your battery up today at Townsend Nissan.
- Your Battery’s Age and Condition: Batteries last a long time, but they’ll eventually give out no matter what you do. If your battery has been underneath the hood of your car for a few years already, then it might be too old to handle the job.
- The Other Parts of Your Electrical System: Your battery holds electricity, but your alternator powers it. In order for your alternator to work, you need a working serpentine belt. Your electrical system has a lot of moving parts, but our mechanics will be able to find which specific part is causing the problem.
Where Can I Get My Battery Inspected?
If you’re worried about the integrity of your battery, then we can check it with a voltmeter once you arrive at Townsend Nissan. If there’s some other part causing your issues, then our mechanics will be able to find it during your inspection.
- Consider a Replacement: If your battery can’t hold a charge, then there isn’t much you can do to save it. If you need a new battery for your model, then our parts department can assist you.
- What If It’s Not My Battery?: If your battery isn’t the problem and your car still won’t start, then it could be due to a faulty starter. Your starter is a small motor that’s responsible for starting your engine, so if the starter relay or the starter itself is damaged, you won’t be going anywhere.
We can help you with your battery once you arrive at Townsend Nissan. You can also schedule your service ahead of time.
