Need a New Battery? Call Tuffy Lake In The Hills Today

May 9, 2017

Hello Lake In The Hills drivers! Need a new battery? There is a good chance that you do – 70% of batteries need to be replaced within four years. As your battery discharges and then recharges as you drive around Lake In The Hills, bits of the surface of the battery plates disintegrate. As this process continues over a few years, the alternator has to work harder to supplement the battery charge. Over time, enough of the battery is damaged that it can no longer hold a charge and it needs to be replaced. This also speeds up wear on the alternator.

Your Tuffy Lake In The Hills service advisor can help you determine the right vehicle replacement battery for the way you drive around Lake In The Hills, as well as the Illinois climate and durability needs.

Contact Tuffy Lake In The Hills for information on battery replacement.
