When Do I Need a New Car Battery?
As you embark on your morning commute, the next unforgettable road trip, or even a trip downtown, you want to get behind the wheel knowing your vehicle will get you from point A to point B quickly and easily. Unfortunately, if you haven't had your car battery inspected in some time, you could find yourself on the side of the road with a dead car. Our San Antonio Nissan service center is here to help you figure out when you need a new car battery.
How to Check the Condition of the Battery & What to Do if the Battery Fails:
- Make sure that the connections are clean, tight, and corrosion-free
- If your car fails to start, get your jumper cables and find another driver to help
- Make sure that both cars are in "park" or "neutral with the ignitions shut off and the emergency brake is on
- Remove the caps from each car's battery and connect the cables
- Attach one of the red clips to the position terminal on your battery and attach the other red clip on the positive terminal on the other vehicle's battery
- Attach one of the black clips to the negative terminal on the other car's battery and attach the other black clip to an unpainted, metal surface on your car – making sure that is isn't near the carburetor or the battery
- Try to start your vehicle
