Car Battery Replacement in Owensboro, KY

That’s why the expert Mopar technicians at Jerry Rap Davis Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram are here to ensure your battery is healthy so that you can continue to enjoy your car safely and stress-free.

How Do I Know if My Car’s Battery Needs to Be Replaced?

Over time, your battery can lose its ability to hold a charge, and there are several warning signs you should look out for so you know to bring your car in for a battery test and replacement before it dies. If you notice any of the following signs, bring your car to our Owensboro service center for a battery test:

• Slow engine crank

How Often Should I Replace My Car Battery?

We recommend replacing your car’s battery every 4-5 years, but this can vary based on weather and driving habits. Some of the most common factors that contribute to battery wear are excessive heat, which causes fluid to evaporate, short driving trips, and excessive battery use including charging devices.

Preventative maintenance is important when it comes to your battery because it can be difficult to gauge how much starting power your battery has, so consider having your battery tested twice a year, or every time you come in for an oil change.
