Batteries

Your vehicle's battery is part of two larger systems - called the starting system and the charging system - that work together to power your vehicle. The purpose of a car battery is to supply the necessary power to start your vehicle and keep it running while the other two systems work in conjunction to maintain that energy and disperse it to the other necessary elements throughout your vehicle that need it. The battery likewise stores power generated by the alternator and operates the secondary electrical systems such as your lights, radio, power seats, power windows, and additional electric components in your car.

Vehicle Battery Service in Jackson, Clinton, Pearl, and Madison, MS

Signs your vehicle may need battery or charging system service:

  • The engine is hard to start
  • Your ALT or CHARGE dashboard indicator light comes on
  • The vehicle headlights suddenly go dim
  • There is a strange smell, similar to rotten eggs, when the vehicle is running
  • The vehicle makes a rapid clicking noise when started
  • You notice issues with certain electrical components like power windows, locks, dashboard lights, or the radio

Why Battery Service Is Important:

No one wants to be stranded with a dead vehicle. It is important to bring your car, truck, or SUV into a service location as soon as you notice any of the issues above to avoid an unexpected dead battery. We will be able to run a diagnostic that will help determine if the issue is the battery or something else going on within the vehicle's starting or charging system. Typically, vehicle batteries need to be replaced every 3-5 years. At Big 10 Tire Pros, we can check your battery for you to verify it's charging power. If you need your vehicle battery replaced, we can help with that as well.
