Battery Inspection & Testing Service

What Does a Battery Check Include?

Battery checks make sure that an older battery is in good condition via a physical inspection and electrical testing. Here is an overview of the two fundamental parts of a battery check service:

• Battery Inspection: Battery checks begin with a certified technician evaluating the physical condition of a battery. We will look for case disfigurement, fluid leaks, and terminal corrosion. Batteries that have lost physical integrity face imminent failure and should be replaced on the spot. Batteries in good physical conditions are then tested to verify electrical performances.
• Battery Testing: Battery testing is a two-part electrical performance assessment of the reserve capacity and cold-cranking amps. A certified technician uses a voltmeter to measure the amount of electricity held by the battery and the amount of electricity sent to start the engine.  Batteries not performing at specifications should be replaced immediately as failure is imminent.
