The reaction between the sulfuric acid in the battery and the lead in the electrodes produces the electric current. When the battery is drained, the electrodes become coated with sulfate, weakening the battery\u2019s capacity to produce the electrical current. Inversely, when the alternator recharges the battery and forces the current to run in the opposite direction, the sulphate is re-dissolved.<\/p>\n<p>A certain amount of sulfate will accumulate on the electrodes over time and create a barrier that weakens the battery\u2019s capacity to create and store electricity. This process occurs more quickly when the battery is frequently drained or remains drained over many days. A battery whose electrodes are significantly sulfated must be replaced.<\/p>\n<p>A battery lasts from 4 to 5 years on average under favourable conditions. In very hot environments, it may even last only up to 2 or 3 years. A battery may also become prematurely sulfated if it is systematically under-charged (because of charging problems or frequent short uses) or if its water levels are below the plates (because of high temperatures or over-charging) thereby causing the plates to dry out.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||90px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(0,0,0,0)&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;45px||||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Conclusion&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Barlow Semi Condensed||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(0,0,0,0)&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h1>Don\u2019t ruin your day with an automobile breakdown!<\/h1>\n<p>If the battery or charging system lights come on, bring your vehicle to your trusted mechanic to find the source of the problem.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6Ijk0NTY3In19@&#8221; button_text=&#8221;REQUEST A PRICE ONLINE &#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;button_url&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AUTO REPAIRS \u2013 Batteries and Charging SystemsYou have questions about your vehicle\u2019s battery or alternator?THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR A vehicle uses a great deal of electricity to make the starter and other electrical components work.
