How much does a Car Battery Replacement cost?
Typically, car battery replacement cost ranges between $300-$400, including installation cost. The price varies on the size of the battery – commonly the larger the engine, the larger and more expensive the battery. German vehicles commonly have larger batteries or batteries installed under the seat and the cost can go up to $600. Truck batteries are generally more expensive as well. Call us today and we will send a fully certified technician to replace your battery at your home.
When to replace your Car Battery?
- Your car doesn’t start. A new battery has a definite capacity to provide power. This capacity is referred to as the cranking amps rating of the battery. The actual amps that a battery can supply become lower than its original rating as a battery ages. Once the cranking amps fall below a critical threshold, it will be hard or impossible to start your car.
Here are some things you must watch out for when you are getting your battery replaced –
- The size of the battery: Different vehicles require differently sized batteries. Ensure that the mechanic checks and fits a battery apt for your car.
- The age of the battery: Every battery has the date of manufacturing mentioned on it. This is how you can determine if the battery is too old or fresh for use. Newer and fresher batteries are always preferred.
- The reserve capacity of the battery: This parameter ensures that your battery can stay running without having to charge it very often. A higher reserved capacity means higher functionality.
- The battery’s power requirement: Check the battery’s CCA and CA before installation.
- The maintenance of the battery: Every type of battery has a maintenance requirement, which is best to enquire about. If you have a busy lifestyle, investing in a low-maintenance battery is the way to go.
- The warranty of the battery: Every battery has a warranty certificate, so make sure that this certificate gets in your hand when you replace your battery.
- The type and position of the terminals: Every battery is built uniquely, and some are built in a way where the terminals can be a bit too long, where they end up touching the body of the car. Make sure that this doesn’t happen at all.
- Ampere hour: this determines the capacity of the electric charge the battery can hold.
Battery Diagnostic Service
No matter where you are, at home, at the office or somewhere stranded in the middle of the street, just call us, and we will be there with a replacement battery in no time. However, before we fit in the new battery and get moving, an important step that we never skip is conducting a proper inspection, where we try to diagnose the root of the issue so that you don’t find yourself stuck in the same position soon after.
Battery Delivery Service
We offer a battery delivery service where we can have the car battery sent to wherever you need it in Calgary. However, we always suggest that before you go ahead and ask for battery delivery, you run your vehicle through a battery diagnostic service, which helps diagnose any other significant issues that might be there with your car, apart from the very apparent battery issues.
