Battery Test and Inspection in Duncanville, TX
The heat we experience here in Duncanville can negatively affect your car’s battery. For that reason, get it tested and inspected frequently at Freedom Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram by Ed Morse!
Warning Signs
Before we explore the details of what this service entails, you should know what to look out for when it comes to your vehicle's battery. First of all, if you have any trouble starting the engine of your Jeep Compass, Chrysler Pacifica, Ram 1500, or Dodge Durango, the battery may be to blame. It is the sole source of energy for the engine, as well as the interior technology, so watch for flickering lights and dim touchscreens. Also, you can look under the hood at the battery itself. If there is a white powder forming on the terminals, it may mean that the component needs to be tended to at our dealership. Loose or frayed wires can also be unsafe, so drop by if you see these before a journey down I-20.
Test
If you've experienced any of the aforementioned red flags, we welcome you to visit our Service Department for a quick battery test. When you do so, you can rely on our team to check the current level of energy in your car’s battery. This will be done using a multimeter, which measures the flow of electricity that’s present in the component, which should be over 12.6V in most models. We can also supply it with some extra power if it needs it, but batteries that can’t hold a charge usually need to be swapped out before you can resume your trips to Harrington Park.
Inspection
Testing the battery is not all that we will do when you visit us for service. Our skilled team members are also going to inspect the component for excessive wear and tear. Over time, corrosion and rust will form on the terminals, so if there is too much, it is a clear sign of degradation. We are also going to look for leaks on the sides of the battery, as the acid can be dangerous for the other parts of your vehicle. Faulty electrical components can drain the power from your battery, so if we are unable to determine why the power supply is failing, we will inspect the other electronics in your car. Set up an appointment with us today!

- Corrosion or rust on terminals

“ I had the pleasure of working with Travis Moody today. His knowledge of the task at hand was second to none. I had tires swapped out and he mentioned a deal where I could get two tires free! I immediately took him up on that offer instead of just replacing two tires. He made sure that everything was taken care of, and in a timely fashion. I would have to say this was my best experience at a dealership to date. ”
