Hyundai Batteries in San Antonio, TX

The electricity in your Hyundai model is powered by a battery. Over time, this unit will lose its charge, but you can monitor the energy supply through routine checks. Not only can these evaluations help you see the volts in the component, but they’ll also give you a road map of when the part should be changed.

Testing

Whether your vehicle battery is new or not, you should have it tested twice a year. That way, you’ll know what’s going on if something fails, such as dimming lights. One of the factors that our technicians look for is voltage. If the power supply has 9.5V or lower at the resting stage, you’ll need to charge the component to have enough energy to start the ride. Car batteries with 12.2V and above show that the module is in good condition. If it’s below that number, it could be a sign that the cell needs to be replenished. We also look around the terminal and various parts to ensure that nothing is interfering with the unit. After that, you’ll be free to cruise along Frio City Road without worry. 

Replacement

The electric supply in your set of wheels has a lifespan of three to five years. As you get closer to the end of this component’s life cycle you should make arrangements to have it replaced. Fortunately, battery replacements can be done quickly. In fact, this task is included in some of the express maintenance lanes at our Service Department. Additionally, the Parts Department can locate a module that fits your vehicle regardless of whether it's a Hyundai model or not. Upon exchanging the battery, we’ll double-check the voltage to make sure the unit isn’t faulty. Once everything is in order, you’ll be ready for adventures around the San Antonio area and beyond.

When Should I Get a Replacement?

Batteries can undergo multiple issues as you’re commuting on streets like Billy Mitchell Boulevard. Sometimes, the wires that are connected to the electric module can become loose. A poor connection could lead to low voltage and accelerates the corrosion build-up. When this happens, a white and green substance will accumulate in the energy supply. If you don’t see the residue on the module but smell a foul odor, it could that the power cell is going bad. These signs are usually accompanied by dim lights as well. Is the dome light in your vehicle softer than usual? This could be a symptom of a failing part. Therefore, you should have the battery swapped for a new one to avoid mechanical breakdowns.
