Volkswagen Battery Service in Ann Arbor, MI

Volkswagen of Ann Arbor Battery Service

One of the most important and also most overlooked components of your Volkswagen is the battery. The battery is responsible for more than just your ignition needed to start the car. Every component of your vehicle that requires electrical power relies on the battery. Headlights, windshield wipers, radio components, interior lights, along with power windows and power seats all depend on your battery to operate as they should. It's important to know the condition of your battery, before it leaves you stranded.

Helpful Battery Maintenance Tips

• What climate do you live in? Hotter climates tend to have a harsher impact on battery life and performance than colder climates.
• Check the date code listed on your battery. The code starts with a digit and a letter; 15 would indicate 2015 and it is followed by a number denoting the month A being January, B being February and so on. The older your battery is, the more likely it may need to be replaced.
• Look for corrosion buildup around battery terminal posts. Excess corrosion is often an indicator of a weakening or dying battery.
• Make sure to tighten any loose clamps or cables around battery terminals.
• Turn off interior lights, radio, and headlights when not in use. Switching them off reduces excess drain and will extend the life of your battery.

Common Symptoms of a Dying Battery

• Slow cranking upon starting your vehicle.
• Corrosion buildup around battery terminals.
• "Check Battery" dashboard indicator light displayed.
• Dimming of interior and exterior lights during normal use.
