Car Battery Replacement in Dubai

Car Battery Replacement

Car batteries need to be replaced periodically, a well maintained battery will last for seven years. Your daily driving habits have an impact on your car’s battery life. The most common cause of battery failure is due to low charge and acid stratification. This is more common in luxury cars and sports cars as they are loaded with electronic gadgets. Most cars consume a lot of power to start the engine, therefore they require periodic maintenance for the battery to function optimally.

A car battery should have the ability to retain its charge, you need to purchase a battery which has a higher CCA rating. CCA stands for cold cranking Amps, the higher the CCA rating the higher the capacity. Over a period of time car batteries will tend to loose a portion of its capacity which reduces its potential to hold charge. Older batteries will tend discharge easily and charge gradually. To determine if your car battery requires replacement you need to test your car battery with a computerized battery tester which not only tests the battery but also checks the starting and charging system. This system also shows if the battery requires replacement or not. Most car batteries last from five to seven years depending on its maintenance and overall running time. If you do not use your car for an extended period of time the battery will degrade sooner. It will last longer if you drive it daily and keep it fully charged. It would also drain if you keep you car’s headlights running for an extended period of time.

Almost all battery related problems occur during cold winter climate as the car engine requires more power to start due low atmospheric pressure. If your car fails to start in the morning odds are that your battery is starting to fail. It would cost from 220 Dh to 440 Dh for a new car battery. Some automotive repair shops and car dealers accept old batteries for recycling. Some popular locations to get in touch with automotive repair shops which provide car battery replacement services in Dubai are Silicon Oasis and Shiek Zayed road.
