Battery insights

  • The first thing to note with your car battery is the fact that it’s rechargeable! Unlike most other components to your vehicle, your battery and be recharged or jump started as an easy fix. Because of this it’s a great idea to keep some jumper cables or a transportable battery charging system to charge your battery. You never know when your car might decide not to start, or you might need to assist another driver in need.
  • Another important thing about your car battery s that it’s recyclable too. When you have an old car battery that you can no longer use, take it somewhere that recycles them, and it greatly helps reduce the materials needed to make new batteries. Recycling your car batteries reduces dangerous chemicals in landfills.
