Getting your car battery checked is the best way to prevent it from failing at an unexpected moment.

How do I know if my Volvo needs a battery replacement?

The lifespans of car batteries vary widely but it is possible that a battery may become unreliable after three years. While there is no specific date to tell you that your Volvo battery needs to be replaced, there are several tell-tale signs to look out for:

• Dashboard warning lights can alert you to a problem with your Volvo car battery. If you see this, make sure you get your battery checked straight away.
• If your Volvo won't start, this is likely to be caused by a battery issue.
• If you are having any electrical issues with your Volvo, such as unresponsive windows or dimmed lights, your battery is likely to quickly go flat.

How do I get my Volvo car battery tested?

If you happen to have the right equipment, it's possible to test your Volvo car battery at home. But it's a lot simpler to visit your local National Tyres and Autocare branch and get it checked for free.

With a free battery test from us, you can solve battery problems quickly and easily. Bring your Volvo in and we'll check the voltage, start capacity, and the condition of your battery. If it's necessary, we'll arrange for a quick, hassle-free Volvo battery replacement.

NAPA AGM

NAPA-absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries are sealed lead acid batteries that have been manufactured with fuel-reducing technologies. These include a stop-start system and brake energy regeneration.

Another handy feature of AGM batteries is their fibreglass mat, which absorbs leaked sulphuric acid. They also provide lower CO2 emissions than advanced flood batteries (AFBs). The lifespan of an AGM battery is relatively long.

NAPA AFB

Advanced flooded batteries (AFB) are also known as enhanced cycle mat batteries (ECM) or enhanced flooded batteries (EFB). This type of battery is an evolution of the standard wet-flooded batteries.

AFB technology provides the benefit of increased cyclic performance and was designed for vehicles that use stop-start technology.

NAPA PLUS

NAPA PLUS batteries provide heavy-duty performance with an extra 30% power. This is a battery type that supports vehicles with in-built satellite navigation systems and media players. Increased shelf life is another perk of this car battery.

NAPA

The standard car battery from NAPA, this flooded lead-acid battery is compatible with most cars. Its calcium/calcium technology boosts battery life and lends it resilience against high temperatures. It also results in reduced water loss.

In addition, the standard NAPA battery features lead plates that store electricity by reacting with battery acid when charged.

How should I dispose of my old Volvo car battery?
