How Does a Car Battery Work?

When you push the button or turn the key to start your engine, it sends a signal to your car’s battery. When the battery receives the signal, it converts chemical energy into electrical energy which is then delivered to the starter to crank up your car’s engine.

The battery also provides the power to turn on your car’s lights, radio, and other accessories.

Battery voltage refers to the amount of electrical potential a battery holds.Most standard automotive batteries today are 12-volts,and each has six cells with 2.1 volts at full charge. A car battery is considered fully-charged when it’s at 12.6 volts or higher, charged at 12.4 volts or higher, and discharged at 12.39 volts or less.

When the voltage drops, even just a little bit, it makes a big difference in your car’s performance, prompting the need to schedule battery replacement service at our Chevy dealership.

Why Does a Battery Need to Be Replaced?

Over time, your car’s battery loses its ability to hold a charge. When the battery gets too weak, it won’t have enough voltage to start your vehicle. This often happens when the temperature falls below 32 degrees fahrenheit, or when it has been parked for long amounts of time without being driven.

This is often why you need to get a jump start to get your engine going. To avoid this hassle, you should replace your battery before the voltage gets too low. So, how do you know if your battery is getting weaker?

Sometimes there are signs, like your car taking longer to start, the dash lights flickering or dimming when you start it, your power windows moving slower when the engine is turned off, or the lights dim when the engine is idling.
