Battery Inspection with Electrical Testing

After a few years of service driving the busy streets of Kenner, LA, we recommend getting the battery inspected twice a year, including electrical testing that verifies peak performance while also detecting a faulty battery on its way to dying and not holding any charge. The inspection is an assessment of physical integrity, looking for any case disfiguration, fluid leaking, and terminal corrosion. If the case passes the physical evaluation, we will perform two electrical tests on the reserve capacity as the amount of voltage stored and cold-cranking amps being delivered to the engine starter. Failing any portion of the inspection requires replacement service.

Why Routine Battery Service is Necessary

Routine battery service is what ensures peak electrical performance while limiting the risk of a faulty battery, leaving you stranded when you need to get somewhere important. With the average battery lasting a few years at peak performance, it is an excellent decision to keep this electrical powerhouse at its best to support your Kenner, LA Volvo's overall reliability.

What Happens When a Battery Gets Neglected?

All batteries will lose integrity with enough time with physical case disfiguration, fluid leaks, and poor electrical performance being the telltale consequences of battery neglect. The ultimate risk of neglecting battery service is getting left stranded with an immobilized vehicle when you need it most.
