Your car battery keeps running down
As a person who has been selling car batteries almost all
his working life, they are a thing that I think about every day of the year. It
is probably the same about the things that most people do for a job. I realize
that the rest of the population only thing they think about to do with a car
battery, is when their car won’t start.
The first thing they then think is where I can buy cheap BMW
batteries, or a battery for whatever make and model of car that they might own.
It is one of those things that haunt you when you first notice that it may let
you down. The first sign is usually when the battery is slow to turn your car’s
engine over, first thing in the
You first think that it is only a one off and it will be all
right the next time you try to start the car. And if it is later on in the day then
the car will probably start first time, because the engine may still be warm
and therefore easier to start the car, but the next morning, when the car is
cold ,the same happens, the car battery is struggling to start the engine. But
just at the last minute, the battery kicks in, and the car starts, Wow that was
close?
You decide to look for car battery suppliers
This is now on your mind, what if I can’t get home tonight? Am
I still in the AA? What times are the trains? All these little things start to
nag your mind. What if it’s not the battery but a bigger problem, did you leave
the lights on? No it must be the battery because I have had the car regularly
serviced and it is only five years old, so it must be car battery problems.
At lunch time you were telling a friend of yours about the
problem and fortunately for you he always carried a smart battery charger in
his cars toolkit. He suggested that you took your battery off the car and tried
charging it up until you sourced a new battery; after all, you did not have a
clue where to buy a new car battery from. This was a good idea and relieved the
worries about getting home.
The smart charger was a Ring automotive charger and the
battery was removed, with a little help from your friend and the battery took
enough charge to top up the battery. The problem when the car battery keeps
dying overnight is that drivers think it was just a blimp and it will be OK the
next time. Some drivers keep car battery jump leads in the car boot and are
forever jump starting their car. This is not recommended on today’s modern cars
because of their intricate electrical systems.
With the car battery charged up your friend advises you of a
good garage to call in at and have a battery
check carried out, on your way home that evening. The mechanic who tested the
battery, lifted the hood and did a car battery health check. He then used a car
battery load tester and soon discovered that there was a faulty cell due the
cell bubbling and gassing under load from the tester.
car battery not holding charge
This dead cell was the reason for the car battery not
holding charge. The battery size was a 110, for his particular BMW and the
mechanic did not have one in. The guy had remembered what his work friend had
said and that we knew where he could buy cheap batteries free shipping. In fact
because it was a Tuesday he could get the battery the next day if he ordered
that evening. He agreed to leave his car with the mechanic who would fit his
new battery when it arrived. He gave the delivery address the same as the
mechanics garage, so that when it arrived it could be fitted on the car and all
would be well.

His wife picked him up in her Vauxhall Corsa and he left the
car at the garage overnight. When he arrived home he was able to buy a car
battery next day delivery from a leading battery website and chose a more
upmarket battery made by Tungstone batteries. The next day the battery arrived
at the garage as promised online and the mechanic fitted it onto his BMW for a
small fitting fee. The guys friend picked him up for work and dropped him off
at the garage for his car on the way home.
It all ended up a happy situation, but if your car struggles
to start, get the battery checked straight away and fit a new one if you are
not sure, this guy messed about and dithered costing him stress if nothing else,
just over his cars faulty battery.
