BATTERIES

The Battery, the heart of the car

The battery supplies power to start the vehicle and the electrical components when the engine isn't running

Rechargeable power

The battery is recharged by the alternator as you drive, keeping it ready for the next time you start the car

BATTERY TESTING

We use the Exide testers to check battery health

We have found during testing that modern car batteries seem to fail after about 7 years.

If you find it's taking longer to start the car it may be worth getting it checked out, it doesn't take long and the test is free.

The Battery Range

We carry a large range of various types of batteries in stock

Automotive lead-acid

This mainstream type of battery was the standard design of vehicles before the advent of start-start engines with computer controlled alternator technology

Automotive EFB

Designed specifically for stop-start cars and vans, these batteries charge faster and respond better to the extra power demands of a modern vehicle over conventional lead acid type batteries.

Automotive AGM

Also designed for the start-start vehicles, these batteries ...

Commercial

Batteries designed for commercial, plant and agricultural applications need to be more powerful and robust for their heavy duty requirements.

Leisure

Leisure batteries typically provide power for items not connected to the start battery.

Motorcycle

Used on smaller engines with lower power requirements but no less important they are available in both lead-acid and AGM
