Battery Replacement Service in Santa Clara, CA

Your car’s battery supplies power to the electrical systems and enables the car to start. When the battery is weak, it can’t supply ample power to these systems, or worse, the battery can die altogether, leaving you unable to start your car. If you’re experiencing a problem with your car’s battery, bring it to the auto repair experts at our Porsche service center and let us take a look. We can perform a battery test and charge your battery, or determine if it needs to be replaced altogether.

How Do I Know if I Need a New Car Battery?

Over time, your battery can lose its ability to hold a charge, and there are several warning signs you should look out for so you know to bring your car in for a battery test and replacement before it dies. If you notice any of the following signs, bring your car to our Santa Clara service center.

• Slow engine crank
• Reduced function of headlights and power windows
• Check engine indicator light is on
• Bloated battery, which can be a sign of heat damage
• Corrosion or stains around the terminal
• Rotten egg smell

It’s important to bring your car to the experts at Porsche Stevens Creek right after you experience any of these warning signs so that we can test your battery before it dies. The last thing you want is to be caught with a dead battery that needs to be charged or even replaced, so don’t wait if you notice your car isn’t functioning properly when you try to start it.

How Often Should My Car’s Battery Be Replaced?

Car batteries typically last 4-5 years, but this can vary based on weather and driving habits. Some of the most common factors that contribute to battery wear are excessive Santa Clara heat, which causes fluid to evaporate, short driving trips, and excessive battery use including charging devices.

Preventative maintenance is important when it comes to your battery because it can be difficult to gauge how much starting power your battery has, so consider having your battery tested twice a year, or every time you visit our service center for an oil change.
