A car battery stores the power that starts the car and runs the electrics when the engine is off. It is charged by the alternator while the engine runs. WhatsApp us on 07961 404768 with your registration and we will check which battery fits your car.
What a car battery does
The battery stores power and gives it out when the car needs it most — to crank the engine, and to run the lights, the radio and the other electrics when the engine is off. Once the engine is running, the alternator takes over and charges the battery back up.
Batteries differ in size, power and terminal position, and some cars need a specific type. Cars with stop-start need an AGM or EFB battery, which is made to cope with being started again and again. A battery made for another car may not fit the tray, reach the cables, or have the power the car needs.
How to find the right car battery
Car batteries are matched to the car, and to the size, terminal positions and whether the car has stop-start. Have the registration to hand for your car battery when you call. Or give us the make, model, year and engine instead. Tell us whether your car has stop-start, if you know.
If your car will not start, the battery is one of the parts to look at — but so is the starter motor and the alternator. The guides below explain what each symptom commonly means and which part it points to.

The battery works with the alternator that charges it and the starter motor that uses its power. If the battery is fine and the car still will not start, one of those two is the next part to look at.

Frequently asked questions
Car batteries are matched to the car, and to the size, terminal positions and whether the car has stop-start. Your registration settles it. Message us on WhatsApp with your registration and we will check which car batteries fit before you order.
A stop-start battery is made for cars that switch the engine off at traffic lights and start it again. It copes with being started again and again, which a standard battery is not made for. Whether your car needs one depends on its make and model — call 07961 404768 and we will check.
Yes. A battery that is flat or worn out cannot crank the engine, and you may hear a click or nothing at all. A car that will not start can also point at the starter motor or the alternator — describe what happens when you call 07961 404768 and we will point you at the right car battery.
Most car batteries last several years, but how long depends on the car, the battery and how it is used. Short trips and cold weather are hard on a battery. If your car is slow to start, call 07961 404768 with your registration and we will check which battery fits.
