Car struggling to start?

A slow or clicking start is often the first sign of a weak battery, especially in cold weather. It isn’t always the battery, though. A faulty alternator, a parasitic drain or a starter motor problem can cause similar symptoms. We test before replacing anything.

The right battery for your car

Many modern cars, particularly those with start-stop, need a specific type of battery such as EFB or AGM. Some vehicles also need the new battery registering to the car’s system after fitting. We make sure the correct battery is supplied for your vehicle.

Car Batteries questions

Why is my car struggling to start?

The most common cause is a weak or failing battery. Other causes include a charging problem, a faulty starter motor or poor connections. A battery and charging test will show which.

How do I know if my battery is failing?

Signs include slow cranking, a clicking noise when starting, dim lights, warning lights on the dashboard, or the car needing a jump start. Batteries also weaken with age.

Do you supply and fit car batteries?

Yes. We supply and fit replacement batteries for a wide range of vehicles.

How much does a replacement car battery cost?

Prices vary by vehicle and battery type. Start-stop vehicles often need a more expensive EFB or AGM battery. Send us your registration and we'll give you a price.

Can you test my battery before replacing it?

Yes. We test the battery and charging system first so you only replace the battery if it needs replacing.

Why does my battery keep going flat?

Repeated flat batteries can be caused by an ageing battery, a charging fault, a component drawing power when the car is off, or lots of short journeys. We can test to find the cause.

Do start stop cars require a different battery?

Usually, yes. Start-stop vehicles are designed for EFB or AGM batteries, and fitting a standard battery can cause problems. Some also need the battery registering after fitting.

Can you quote a battery using my registration?

Yes. Send us your registration and we can check the correct battery for your vehicle and give you a price.
