Battery Test and Inspection in New Smyrna Beach, FL
One car component that you won’t want to neglect is the battery. We recommend getting frequent tests and inspections at our Service Department, so visit New Smyrna Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM as soon as you can!
Purpose
The battery in your Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Durango, or Ram 1500 plays many important roles during your New Smyrna Beach drives. First, and most importantly, your car’s battery sends a life-giving spark to the motor to get the engine revved up when you turn the key in the ignition. It supplies the required electricity to the alternator to begin the combustion process, allowing you to begin your drive down Highway 1. Additionally, it receives power from the alternator, which uses excess energy from the engine to keep the battery at full capacity. The lights, touchscreens, and speaker systems also draw from the battery, so if it ceases to work, you won’t be able to keep any of these systems on.
Test
If you find that you’re unable to get the engine going in the morning, it may be a battery issue. The same is true if you see flickering lights inside or outside the cabin. You can drop by our dealership during open hours to have our team of experts test the battery in your car, truck, or SUV. We’ll start by using a multimeter to detect the current charge in the part. If it’s below an average of 12.6V, we’ll supply some extra electricity. Then, we will measure the rate at which that power depletes from the battery. If it fails to keep its energy during this test, you may want to get a new one. Luckily, our Parts Department uses genuine Mopar® parts, so you can rest easy knowing that your battery will last for many more trips to 27th Avenue Beachfront Park.
Inspection
There is more that our team members can do for your battery when you visit our nearby location. Beyond testing its energy levels, we can inspect the electrical components for wear and tear. By looking for rust and corrosion on the terminals, our technicians are able to determine if your battery is nearing the end of its life. Bulging in the sidewalls or leaking acid are also telltale signs that the part needs to be swapped out for a new one. If you’ve recently replaced the battery and find that it is still losing power, we can check the connecting wires and electronics in the vehicle for any faulty units. A failing alternator could also be the cause of such issues. Be sure to drop by our dealership if you want a professional opinion about your vehicle!

Can not speak enough praises for this dealer
“ Can not speak enough praises for this dealer. Recently moved from out of state and felt like I would never find a dealer I could feel comfortable with again. I was wrong. From the second I pulled in with my car. I felt welcomed and safe. Didn't feel like I was gonna be taken advantage of because I was a women.

I want to commend the Service staff here for their excellent customer service.
“ I want to commend the Service staff here for their excellent customer service. My service contact was Scott K, and he was so pleasant and helpful, knows a lot about cars! great on communications. I'm confident he really looked out for me and my PT Cruiser repair. I also want to praise the service technicians: I overheard one talking to Scott about a repair issue (not mine). He had questions about a customer's extended warranty coverage, which he felt could possible apply to the repair. How's that for caring about the customer? I also met another technician when I picked up my car. So friendly and personable. Really, the employees here are exceptional. I will not hesitate to come back for regular maintenance from now on. Thank you New Smyrna CJDRam! ”
