When to replace your car battery?

Many times the first hint of a battery problem shows up during the starting process.

If the car battery is too weak to provide a sufficient voltage to the starter, you'll hear a distinctive clicking sound and the engine won't crank over. This clicking indicates that the battery is not fully charged.

Atomic Battery Service can perform a battery test to determine if the battery needs to be replaced. Sometimes a faulty alternator will be the culprit, but other times the test will reveal a weak battery not capable of holding a charge. This means the battery must be replaced.
