Battery Replacement
Reliable Car Batteries & Expert Installation
Your vehicle’s battery is the heart of its electrical system, providing the power needed to start the engine and keep essential components running. Over time, batteries lose their ability to hold a charge, which can leave you stranded at the worst possible moment. At Conrad's, we offer comprehensive battery testing, expert installation, and top-quality replacement batteries to keep your car running smoothly.
How Long Does a Car Battery Last?
On average, a car battery lasts between three to five years, but factors like driving habits, weather conditions, and vehicle type can impact its lifespan. Frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, and long periods of inactivity can cause batteries to deteriorate faster.
To avoid unexpected breakdowns, it’s recommended to have your battery tested annually—ideally when getting your tires rotated or during routine vehicle maintenance.

If you notice any of the following symptoms, it’s time to have your battery checked at Conrad's Tire Express & Total Car Care:
