Nissan Battery Replacement Service in Norwell, MA

How Long Does A Car Battery Last?

On average, a car battery remains reliable for about 3-4 years, although that time frame depends on several factors that affect battery life. Things such as an excessive amount of short drives and extreme climate temperatures of over 100 degrees or below 10 degrees into your battery's lifespan.
If your vehicle’s battery is three or more years old, have your car battery tested at Coastal Nissan during your next routine service appointment.

Why Does My Battery Keep Dying?

Having a series of dead batteries can be a sign that there’s a deeper issue with your vehicle. If you jump start your vehicle and your battery immediately dies or your battery is dead after every drive, that points to faulty charging system (alternator). At Coastal Nissan, we can help you determine the issue with a couple of simple tests - contact us to schedule a service appointment.

How To Jump-Start a Car

When jump-starting a vehicle, it's extremely important to connect the jumper cables in the correct order for your safety and to prevent damaging both car batteries.

1. Connect the red jumper cable to the positive (red) terminal on the dead battery.
2. Connect the other red jumper cable to the positive (red) terminal on the good battery.
3. Connect the black jumper cable to the negative (black) terminal on the good battery.
4. Finally, connect the other black jumper cable to a metal part of the car with the dead battery. Try to find an unpainted surface to ensure a good ground.
5. Start the engine of the car with the good battery.
6. Wait a minute and then try to start the car with the dead battery.
