Toyota Battery Service & Replacement in Greensburg, PA
Toyota Battery Service & Replacement at Toyota of Greensburg
Often one of the most overlooked or even forgotten about components in your Toyota is the battery. From starting your car to turning up the radio, your battery is responsible for providing the necessary power for your car's electrical system. Over time, batteries gradually lose their charge and will need to be replaced. Below are a few symptoms you may experience if your battery is on the verge of dying.
- A displayed "Check Battery" warning light on your dashboard
- Slow cranking upon starting your vehicle
- Dimming of headlights or interior lights during operation
- Corrosion buildup around battery posts and terminals
Battery Maintenance Tips
- Locate the date code listed on your battery. The code starts with a digit and a letter; 16 would indicate 2016 and it is followed by a number denoting the month. The letter 'A' designates January, "B" designates February and so on. The older the battery is, the more likely it needs to be replaced.
- Areas with high temperatures have a harsher impact on battery life than those with colder temperatures.
- Make sure all cables and clamps are tightened securely around battery terminals.
- Check for and clean corrosion around battery terminal posts (+/-). Excessive corrosion buildup is often a sign of a weakening or dying battery.
- Be sure to shut off your headlights, interior lights, radio, and any other electrical accessories. This reduces drain on your battery.
