Being prepared can make any stressful situation easier, but without the proper knowledge, how can you expect to be ready for your car failing? Having a limited understanding of how cars work can leave you feeling helpless when your car refuses to start. The best way to empower yourself, especially in preparation for car failures, is to understanding the function of basic parts of your vehicle, like batteries and alternators—two of the main parts blamed for failed car startups.
You can perform a straightforward diagnosis of your car to decide if its failure is due to a dead battery or alternator. Differentiating between the two car parts is actually pretty easy once you analyze the signs and symptoms of dying batteries and alternators. Sturtevant Auto has reliable used batteries for sale at discount prices!
If you only drive your car once or twice a day for less than ten minutes each trip, you may not be giving your battery the charge it needs to stay in operation. When your car cannot start, it’s important you keep these additional facts in mind, so you can better decide if your battery is dead or not. Your battery may be dead if it exhibits the following symptoms:
If you’ve experienced these signs, there is a high probability you have a dying or dead battery on your hands, helping bring the battery vs alternator debate to a successful conclusion.
If you know you’ll have to replace your car’s battery, it’s a good idea to have your alternator checked as well. Failing alternators can drain batteries, leading to their inevitable death. Yes, your battery is the reason your car didn’t start this time, but your alternator could still be the root cause of your car’s failure to start up. Without having your alternator inspected, you could be replacing your battery again in the near future.
Unlike a failed battery, dying alternators can be harder to catch because the symptoms of failing alternators sometimes don’t appear until the moment your alternator already starts to give in. You could start your day off perfectly normal, but your car might begin to shut down on your drive to or from school or work. Alternators produce a current to power your vehicle’s headlights, radio, battery, and other mechanics relying on electricity. The signs of a dying alternator include:
When your car experiences these problems, you’re facing a strong potential of a dying or dead alternator, putting the battery vs alternator conversation to rest. A more expensive repair and replacement than a car battery, you definitely want to make sure you’re keeping an eye out for these symptoms so you have the option to simply make a repair before being forced to replace the entire unit.
