Common Things that Can Kill Your Battery

If your battery died, then there are a few things that could have caused it.

It’s Just Too Old: As your battery ages, it’s going to struggle to hold electricity. This can be annoying, as you might suddenly find that your battery can’t do its job anymore. If you want to test your battery with a voltmeter, and you’re near Douglasville, Lithia Springs, or Marietta, you can stop by Lithia Springs Ford.
You Left Something On: If you leave your door slightly ajar, or you leave something on in your cabin, it might drain your battery while you’re sleeping. Your battery can only charge when your car is running, which is why it might die if it’s powering something overnight.
Some Other Part Is Broken: If your battery keeps dying, then you might have a bad alternator or a bad serpentine belt. Our mechanics will be able to investigate the issue for you once you arrive.

What If It’s Not My Battery?

If your battery is healthy, then you might have a different problem on your hands. While there are a number of parts that could be causing the issue, it’s likely:

Your Starter: If your battery is healthy but you still can’t get your model to start, then it might be due to your starter. This part is pretty straightforward, as its only job is to start your vehicle. If you need a replacement, then we’d be happy to help you at Lithia Springs Ford.
Your Alternator: This part charges your battery while you’re on the move. If it’s damaged, then your battery is going to keep dying over and over again, as it isn’t receiving any electricity. If your car is consistently dying no matter what you do, then there’s a good chance that the alternator is the problem.
