Audi Frederick Battery Service near Gaithersburg and Germantown, MD

The battery in your Audi car or SUV has a pretty demanding job. Not only does it turn over the engine, but it's also responsible for running the interior and exterior lights, cabin accessories, infotainment and sound system, driver-assistance technologies, and all charging ports. However, since it's located out of sight, it's easy to take its health for granted until an issue arises. And the effects of a dead battery can range from inconvenient (asking for a jump in the grocery store parking lot) to hazardous (being caught in the middle of a snowstorm). That's why it's important to recognize the symptoms of poor battery health and when to have yours tested or replaced.

What are the signs of battery stress?

Besides waiting for an ignition failure while you're running errands in Hagerstown, there are several indicators that can alert you in advance of a potential problem, including:

• Battery/Check Engine light illumination
• Sluggish/strained ignition
• Battery leakage or corroded terminals
• Swollen battery case
• Dimming headlights and cabin/accessory lights

When should you test or swap your Audi's battery?

Despite their strenuous job, car batteries are resilient and can last for five or more years, depending on operating conditions and driving style. However, it's recommended to have it tested once or twice a year after the three-year mark. The expert technicians at Audi Frederick can examine your battery for signs of fatigue and let you know its current state. And if you need a replacement, we have a full inventory of genuine, warranty-backed Audi batteries designed specifically for your model.
