BATTERY TESTING SERVICE
Has your car been taking a little longer to start in the morning? It could be that your battery is getting older and may need to be replaced. When you take your vehicle to Cable Dahmer Cadillac in Kansas City, MO you can have your battery tested and avoid getting stranded late at night in an empty lot. A battery test is a fast and inexpensive way to give you peace of mind when driving across the wide open plains of Missouri and Kansas. The technician rolls your car into the bay and attaches a pair of leads to the terminals on your battery. They shut off the car and then start it again. The battery meter records how many volts the battery has available after a heavy draw. The test takes less than five minutes.
How Does Your Car Battery Work?
The battery under your car's hood is a rechargeable battery. When you
start the car the battery provides enough energy to spin the starter motor
that turns the engine, drawing in fuel and air to begin the combustion
process. Once the engine is running, the battery starts to regain all the
lost power it gave up during the start. Newer cars that have numerous
electrical add-ons like heated and powered seats, heated mirrors, radar
cruise control, and autonomous braking may place a higher demand on the
battery especially if you are stuck in a traffic jam as the engine won't
be working hard enough to recharge the battery.

An Old Battery Can Leave You Stranded
If there are not enough volts available due to an old battery, the
starter motor can't spin and the engine won't turn over. As your battery
gets older it loses its ability to recharge during your daily commute.
Eventually it simply won't have the juice to get the job done.
Unfortunately your car won't deliver a warning before the battery simply
dies. Replacing it before the hard frosts set in can make the difference
between driving with confidence all winter long or making the call to
roadside assistance.
