A flat battery does not always mean a new one. A shop can test the battery and the charging system, then tell you whether you need a battery, an alternator or something else.
Ring and tell them your car and rego so they can have the right battery ready.
Signs your battery is on its way out
- The engine turns over slowly or clicks when you start it.
- Headlights look dim when the engine is off.
- The battery warning light comes on.
- The battery is more than about five years old. The age is on a sticker or stamped on the case.
What to ask
- Can you test the battery and the alternator before I buy a new one?
- What size and type does my car need? Many cars with stop-start need a particular type.
- What warranty comes with it, and is fitting included?

Questions drivers ask
How long does a car battery last?
Many last between three and five years, depending on the car, the trips you make and the climate. A shop can test the one you have.
Can I just jump start it?
That gets you going once. If the battery keeps going flat, get it and the alternator tested.
Does it matter which battery I get?
Yes. Size, power rating and type matter, and cars with stop-start often need a particular type. A shop can look up the right one from your rego.
Do I need to book?
For a quick swap many shops can fit you in the same day. Ring first and ask.
