EV & Hybrid Battery Service (12V & System Checks)
Even EVs rely on a healthy 12-volt battery to power control modules and contactors. We test and replace 12V batteries, perform BMS resets/initializations where required, and check for software or charging issues that can shorten battery life.

Battery Service FAQ
1) How long does a car battery last?
Typically 3–5 years. Heat, short trips, and accessories can shorten lifespan.
2) AGM vs. flooded battery—what’s better?
AGM handles start/stop systems and high electrical loads; many vehicles specify AGM from the factory. We’ll install what your vehicle requires.
3) Do you need to “code” a new battery?
Many European and start/stop vehicles require battery registration/coding so the charging strategy matches the new battery. We handle this in-house.
4) My battery keeps dying overnight—do I just need a new one?
Not always. You may have a parasitic draw (module staying awake, bad relay, etc.). We test before we replace.
5) Can a weak battery trigger warning lights?
Yes. Low voltage can cause ABS, airbag, transmission, and AWD warning lights. Fixing the battery/charging issue often clears related faults.
