Instead of stopping at the closest place that has car batteries for sale, make an appointment with our service department at Toyota of Del Rio for a battery check. If you've had your car for a while, you should get your battery checked to find out how much life it has left.

Why Your Toyota Needs Regular Battery Replacement

Car batteries have a limited life and are affected by changes in weather. If you keep your car in a garage, your battery lasts longer than average, but it, too, will need replacement at some point. The reason why your car has to undergo battery replacement is due to the fact that the materials inside a car battery eventually wear out. A typical car battery is known as a sealed lead acid (SLA) battery. Lead plates and an acid solution are sealed inside the battery case for safety and performance. Over time, the materials weaken and lose their ability to hold a charge and generate a current to start your car.

Your Toyota Runs Properly With a New Battery

A dying battery is subtle. Sometimes you don't notice that there's something wrong until the battery dies. Alternatively, you may have noticed your lights flicker on occasion or your car takes a little longer to turn over. The battery charge indicator may display the correct voltage, but then drop when it's put under strain. All of these issues disappear when you get a new battery. All of the car's systems that rely on the battery for operation return to normal operation and the car works as it should once again.
