Battery Replacement in New Bedford, MA

Since each of your car’s electrical systems is dependent on the battery, it’s crucial to pay attention to any weakness that could signal the need for a replacement! If you notice that your vehicle’s battery is nearing the end of its functional life, make our Service Department at New Bedford Mitsubishi your next destination.

Purpose 

When you turn the key or press the push-to-start button in your Outlander, Eclipse Cross, or Mirage, a chain of actions must take place before the engine can crank. The battery sends a signal to the starter, which gives the powertrain the jolt of energy that is necessary to launch you down Route 24. On average, the battery should be replaced every three to five years, but factors such as weather and driving habits can shorten this lifespan. Make sure to refer to your car’s Owner’s Manual for specific information, as well as keeping an eye out for performance issues. For example, if you notice that the engine takes a while to come to life, the battery case appears swollen, or the lights are weak, it’s time for an inspection.

Replacement Process 

Once our team determines that your vehicle is in need of a replacement battery, they will begin by removing the old part and cleaning away debris or corrosion that it may have left behind. Batteries contain chemicals that can be dangerous, especially as they age, so our experts will carefully dispose of it for you. After installing the new one, they will use an electronic meter to test its power level. Before you resume your travels, our certified technicians will take care of resetting the charging monitor and resyncing the key fob, along with the rest of the connected systems. If you have questions about this service or any other maintenance that your vehicle’s battery requires before your next trip to the Allen C. Haskell Public Gardens, fill out the Ask a Tech form on the New Bedford Mitsubishi website.
