Reasons your car battery might fail

Your battery may be a small part of your vehicle, but it has outsized importance. If your battery fails, there will be no driving around in Miami. Here are some of the reasons your battery might fail and what you can do about it.

One of the main reasons your battery fails is it has reached its useful life. Most batteries will last anywhere from 24,000-72,000 miles, depending on the quality. If you have already exceeded the estimated life of your battery, it's time to get it tested. Another reason batteries fail is extreme weather. Both very hot and very cold temperatures can hinder your battery's performance, especially if it is nearing the end of its life. If your battery fails during extreme temperatures, take your vehicle in for service and potential replacement.

At Planet Alfa Romeo, our professional staff can give your battery a thorough checkup and replace it if necessary.
