What does a battery do?

Batteries are crucial to the function of your vehicle, without one, your vehicle simply wouldn’t start. Here are some of the key roles a battery plays in your vehicle…

Starting

When giving your ignition a half-turn, you can work your air vents, and interior lights, listen to the radio and work dashboard lights. Your battery is responsible for making these functions work. Be careful though, as if you leave your ignition on this half-turn for a long period of time, you could run out of charge!

Lights

Your battery is responsible for keeping your headlights, indicators and interior lights powered up. In addition to lighting, your battery works to power electrical items plugged into your vehicle or the 12V power outlet. These include phone chargers, Sat-Navs and more! Without a working battery, none of this could function.

Ignition

Batteries are crucial to getting your vehicle started, on the road and keeping it moving. Batteries provide the electricity that a vehicle needs to start, whether this is to spark plugs or heating elements. Without powering these essential car parts, your engine and vehicle simply wouldn’t run.

How do car batteries work?

Vehicle batteries use a chemical reaction to generate the electricity needed for your car to run. When the key is half-turned in the ignition, a chemical reaction happens which releases electricity to the vehicle’s systems. Though batteries can lose their charge, they are designed to recharge themselves for the next time you use your vehicle.

What is a battery replacement?

A battery is essentially a rechargeable battery that provides your vehicle with power to complete several jobs. A battery looks like a plastic box and often has a coloured top with two terminals where the battery connects to your vehicle’s electrical system. If your vehicle won’t start, then it’s likely that there is a problem with your battery. Fortunately, we at P&J Garage Services stock a range of batteries for your battery replacement needs.

How do I know if my battery needs replacing?

  • Your engine is struggling to turn over.
  • The battery dashboard warning light is showing.
  • If your car won’t start at all.
