On average, the cost of getting a car battery replaced and fitted starts at around $200 but it can be upwards of $400. It all depends on your car’s make and model.
Normal use for a starting battery in a daily used vehicle is 4 to 7 years. In vehicles that are used occasionally and left with the battery connected and not charged regularly, the battery will only last 1-2 years. Deep cycle batteries last 5-7 years, as long as they are not over charged or flattened.
Common signs include slow engine cranking, dim headlights, electrical issues, frequent jump-starts, or if the battery warning light on your dashboard is on.
It’s best to have your battery tested at least once a year, especially after the three-year mark, to avoid unexpected failures.
Deep cycle batteries are built to provide a steady amount of power over longer periods. They have thicker plates, allowing them to withstand repeated deep discharges and recharges without damage. These batteries are commonly used in marine vehicles, RVs and solar power systems, where a continuous energy supply is needed rather than short bursts.
Starting batteries are designed to deliver a high burst of power for a short period, which is needed to start a vehicle’s engine. They have thinner plates, allowing them to provide a quick and powerful energy surge but making them less suitable for long, sustained discharges.
Some batteries, known as dual-purpose batteries, offer a balance between both functions but for optimal performance, it’s best to choose the right type for your specific needs. Talk to us if you need more info.
