To have your battery tested free of charge
at Knights, please ensure that your battery is fully charged, we are unable
to perform tests on batteries without a full charge.
Be aware that batteries that have been
discharged more than 40% and then recharged repeatedly can suffer irreparable
damage and may be void of warranty and unable to keep a full charge. Also
during normal use, every time a battery goes through a charge and discharge
cycle, a small amount of the active mass is lost from the plates. Because
the ultimate life of a battery depends on so many factors, it is impossible
to stipulate a minimum/maximum life expectancy. this process of normal
ageing through the charge and discharge cycle will eventually cause your
battery to lose capacity, and it will come to the point where the battery
can no longer start the vehicle or equipment, this is not a manufacturing
fault but is guaranteed not to happen for 3 years on private car batteries.
Under normal operating conditions, a battery
cannot be discharged on it's own. the reason for discharge is normally
attributed to :-
- Malfunctioning alternator, regulator
or starter motor
- Slipping fan belt
- Electrical fault
- Excessive use of electrical consumers-
car phones, air conditioning etc
- Long time standing without recharge
- Boot light/glove box malfunction
- Vehicle lights being left on.
We will dispose of your replaced battery
in a legal and environmentally friendly way |
