Hyundai Battery Service

One of the most important parts inside any vehicle is the battery—this piece of equipment is what powers all of the electrical components and makes sure your car starts. If you skip Hyundai service and something starts to go wrong with your battery, several issues may occur, including an unexpected breakdown. Visit us at Sansone Hyundai today to learn more. 

How a Car Battery Functions 

One of the worst situations you can find yourself in as a driver is stranded on the road with a dead battery – that’s why informing yourself on the intricacies of this Hyundai part is so important. You can expect your car battery to last around three to five years until you start noticing extreme signs of wear, but driving your vehicle in the frigid cold or severe heat may cause it to deteriorate more quickly.

Put simply, your car battery’s job is to convert chemical energy into electrical energy which is then sent to your starter in the form of voltage. Then, your battery works to stabilize the voltage provided to make sure your car stays running without hiccups.

Typically, we recommend bringing your car to our service center twice per year so your battery can be visually inspected and tested by our Hyundai technicians. We’ll also check it for any corrosion. 

Symptoms of Battery Damage 

There are a number of signs you can look out for while driving so you can easily tell when there’s an issue with your Hyundai battery. If you start to notice any of the following, be sure to visit our service center as soon as you can: 

• Low fluid levels: You can visually inspect the casing of the battery to see how full the battery fluid currently is. 
• Visible swelling: If the battery looks much larger than normal, it could have swelled from excessively hot conditions.
• Strange noises or smells: Smelling something similar to rotten eggs or hearing banging sounds are indications that there may be a leak or clog inside the battery. 
• Electrical Malfunctions: Keep an eye out for dim headlights and a radio that won’t turn on.
