How Do I Know if I Need a Battery Replacement?

There's way more technology in your late-model vehicle than there was in the rockets and pods that made it to the moon in the '60s. That's right! You've got way more computer power in your passenger car than the shuttles and lunar landers that made history. Needless to say, your sophisticated vehicle has exacting power requirements, and if something is falling short in your system, you may experience symptoms like:

• Flickering headlights at night
• Engine stumbles
• Poor shifting from your transmission
• Door lock and alarm issues
• Radio and infotainment issues
• Navigation and telematics issues
• Starting issues

Have you ever noticed a red battery icon illuminated on the dash? That's an onboard monitor designed to alert you to a system issue. That is most certainly related to your starting and charging system and is a big indicator for battery replacement. That said, your battery isn't in it alone. Your alternator recharges it, and with today's stop/start technology, your alternator and starter might actually be the same component. Fortunately, Volvo Cars West Houston has the battery testing facility, diagnostics, and technicians on hand to get your battery repair scenario handled.

Frequently Asked Questions

What brand of battery do Volvo cars use?

Volvo Cars is currently working with premier Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt to make sustainable batteries for future electric cars. This partnership allows the brand to create exclusive in-house batteries with custom-tailored balances of power and efficiency.

In gas-powered vehicles, the batteries used can vary but are supplied by OEM-approved manufacturers. Our Volvo battery replacement service in Houston, TX, only involves these manufacturer-spec batteries.

Why do Volvo cars have two batteries?

A modern gas-powered Volvo vehicle uses two batteries to power two electrical systems. The first battery powers the infotainment system, headlights, and other tech features, letting you enjoy the cutting-edge nature of your new ride. The second provides the great MPG you expect from a Volvo vehicle. It powers the engine start/stop feature, saving gas during city drives or stop-and-go traffic.

How long should a Volvo car battery last?

The life of a Volvo battery varies with many factors, including driving habits and weather conditions. A typical OEM Volvo battery will last between four and six years. Certain signs point to a Volvo battery at the end of its life, including issues with lights and a slow-to-start engine. We can help assess your Volvo battery with an inspection at Volvo Cars of West Houston today.
