Battery

Batteries have become a huge part of our modern life. Think about how many battery chargers you have? Laptops, cell phones, tablets, flashlights, the list goes on and on.

Of course, our purpose here is to talk about your car battery. When people come into our Zion Illinois service center and need a new battery, they're really not that happy about having to spend the money. But the fact is that 70 percent of batteries don't make it for 4 years.

There are some things that you can do to extend the life of your battery. First, keep it clean. If you see it getting dirty or greasy, let us know at Northwest Auto & Tire and we can clean it off. A dirty battery runs hotter and that shortens its life. If your battery terminals are corroded, let us take a look at that too. We can clean them, and if the corrosion has gotten into the battery cables, we can replace them.

Also running your battery way down is bad for it: Things like running the headlights or watching a DVD player with the car turned off can deeply deplete your battery. The typical battery can only take about 10 of those deep cycle depletions before it gives up the ghost.

Now when it's finally time to get a new battery, we can help you find the right replacement. We stock AC Delco and Interstate batteries.
