Close Battery Test and Inspection in Orlando, FL
Without the battery in your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram vehicle, it would be stuck in your driveway, unable to start. If you depend on your Compass or 1500 for your daily routine, it’s essential to keep an eye on its battery’s health. The Service Department here at Greenway CDJR is ready to help you do just that with our testing and inspection practices.
Purpose of the Battery
A car battery’s primary function is to store energy supplied by the vehicle’s alternator when the powertrain is running. When you start the vehicle by turning the key or pushing a button, it uses that stored power and sends a burst of it to the starter to get the engine running. Once your Charger or Pacifica is in motion, the battery acts like something of a buffer by protecting the vehicle’s electronics from voltage fluctuations. It can also step in and distribute extra energy if needed, such as while the AC is on high, the headlights are active, the windshield wipers are going, and the sound system is booming during a rainy drive across SR 528.
Battery Test Process
When you visit our maintenance experts for your scheduled service appointment, they’ll complete a comprehensive examination of the battery’s health. The technician will start by using a tool called a multimeter or voltmeter to assess the current charge level. If it returns a passing number, the battery is typically cleared for the road ahead. If the meter displays a lower voltage figure, you’ll likely need a replacement to continue commuting across Orlando reliably. Our professionals will also verify how well the battery holds a charge under load, which can indicate a more complex electrical problem than simple aging. Once all the testing is complete, our service advisors can deliver an estimate of the battery’s remaining lifespan.
Battery Inspection
Beyond using specialized tools to analyze the battery’s internal elements, we can also provide a detailed assessment of its external condition. Our technicians will check the terminals for rust and corrosion, which are normal byproducts of the part’s chemical processes but can prevent it from working properly if left unchecked. They’ll also wipe away debris such as dust and grime that accumulated during visits to Blue Jacket Park. These inspections can also reveal more significant issues, such as a bulging or swelling battery case, that call for an immediate replacement battery from our Parts Department. If you suspect there’s an issue with your Wrangler or Durango, don’t hesitate to visit us!
