Whether you drive a Jeep, Ram, Dodge, or Chrysler, you will eventually need a new battery. This component is vital for your Sheridan journeys, so visit Sheridan Motors CDJR. We have a Service Department for you to swing by!

Importance

Whenever you turn the key in your car’s ignition, the battery is what gets your engine revved up. This component sends electrical signals to the spark plug, and then fires up the pistons in your powertrain. For that reason, your battery is one of the most important parts of your model. It also keeps the electronics in the cabin functional, including the speakers, air conditioning, touchscreen, and even the phone chargers. Luckily, unlike other batteries, the one in your car is recharged by an alternator that uses power from the engine to keep its energy levels topped off. However, it will still cease to function after a while, so get a checkup before embarking on a journey to Kendrick Park. 

Warning Signs

Knowing when your battery is failing is integral, so let’s explore some of the red flags that can be detected. If you are driving your Jeep Cherokee and notice that its headlights frequently flicker, it may be due to a lack of power in the battery. A simple charging service may be in order, or you might need a new one. If there is a great deal of rust and corrosion on the terminals of the battery, then it is likely that it’s at the end of its lifespan. An engine that won’t start on a chilly morning can often be attributed to a dead battery, so contact us if this has happened.

Replacement

Our Service Department staff is ready to assist you with all your automotive woes. If you find that you need a new battery, schedule an appointment with us or simply drop by during our open hours. We will get started by testing the power levels of your current setup, and if it needs electricity we’ll try to charge it up for you. If it’s not able to retain this energy, a new one will be issued from our Parts Department. We will then remove the old battery and dispose of it via the proper channels. After installing the factory-fresh one, you can resume your trips down Highway 14. If you want to potentially save cash, check out our ongoing service specials.
