Car Battery Questions, Answered.
How long does a car battery last in South Africa?
Most car batteries last three to five years. Our heat is hard on batteries, so Highveld summers and cold winter mornings can shorten that. If yours is over three years old, drive in for a free test so you know exactly where you stand before it lets you down.
What are the signs my car battery needs replacing?
The usual warnings are slow cranking when you start, dim or flickering lights, a clicking sound instead of a start, and a battery that struggles after the car has stood overnight. Notice any of these in Alberton? Pop in for a free battery test and we’ll give you a straight answer.
How much does a new car battery cost?
It depends on your vehicle and the battery it needs. You get a free test and a clear written quote before any work starts. Call us on (011) 869 2427 for a price on your specific car.
Can you test and fit my battery while I wait?
Yes. We test, supply and fit on the spot at our Alberton store, usually same day, by a trained technician who resets your vehicle’s systems and checks it starts before you leave. We also recycle your old battery responsibly, free of charge.
What is the difference between a standard, AGM and EFB battery?
A standard (SLI) battery suits most older petrol and diesel cars. EFB and AGM batteries are built for modern stop-start vehicles that switch the engine off at every robot, so they handle far more charge cycles. Fit the wrong type and it fails early. Tell us your make, model and year and we’ll fit the right one.
