Question 2

How long do car batteries last in Florida?

Accepted Answer

In South Florida's heat, car batteries typically last 2-4 years — significantly less than the 4-6 years you might get in moderate climates. Heat accelerates internal corrosion and fluid evaporation. We recommend annual battery testing after year 2 to catch failing batteries before they leave you stranded.

Question 3

My car is slow to start — is it the battery or something else?

Accepted Answer

Slow cranking can be caused by a weak battery, a failing starter, corroded connections, or a charging system problem (alternator not keeping the battery charged). Our complete charging system test ( as part of diagnostics) checks all components to identify the actual cause — so you're not replacing a battery when the real problem is the alternator.
