BATTERIES AND CHARGING SYSTEMS​

A dead battery is something we all usually experience at one time or another as a vehicle owner. It can happen from a really old battery finally going out, leaving a light on inside your vehicle, or a problem with the charging system. If you’re experiencing an issue with your vehicle’s battery, come see the experts here at ABR Houston in The Woodlands, TX. Our Master European technicians are highly experienced when it comes to BMW, Audi Rolls-Royce, MINI, and Volkswagen vehicles.

We understand that a dead battery can be very stressful, especially when it happens at the worst time. An obvious sign of a dead battery is a car that won’t start. You may also notice that your vehicle doesn’t crank when you try to start it or that the power windows and locks aren’t working well or at all.

A typical battery will last between 3-5 years, but other factors can cause your battery to die unexpectedly. A dead battery can also be caused by the starting and charging system which can prevent the battery from receiving the proper charge. A faulty alternator can also cause your car battery to die.

Signs of battery or charging system problems include:

• A charging malfunction light is on
• Your car won’t start or breaks down unexpectedly
• The dashboard lights are dim, flickering, or resetting randomly
• The time is lost, and certain electrical systems aren’t working
• The vehicle cranks slowly
• A battery warning is on the dash
