Battery Testing and Inspection

When you are having battery problems, certified technicians will test it. All of the connections will be checked. Technicians will also make sure that the battery itself is damaged. Batteries that are not holding a charge will require an additional inspection to rule out other possible problems such as a problem with the alternator. If the battery needs to be replaced, they will get you the right battery installed quickly.

Average Battery Life

On average, vehicle batteries used in normal driving conditions will last about four years. However, if you live in an area that experiences harsh weather conditions, either wintry cold or very hot summers, this can shorten the life of your vehicle’s battery. Cars and trucks that aren’t driven frequently will also have shorter battery life. The number of accessories a vehicle has, such as GPS or DVD players, can also play a role in shorting battery life.

Getting Your Battery Tested

Generally, it is recommended that the battery be checked every two years or 20,000 miles. It is best to refer to your owner’s manual to know what Volkswagen recommends for your vehicle’s model and year. Vehicles that are operated in harsh climate conditions, may need to have the battery checked every year. Damp winter weather can affect battery fluid. Also, if you only use the vehicle for short commutes, the battery will not have the opportunity to fully charge. Getting the battery tested and checked can prevent you from being stranded with a dead battery.
