Even a new battery will quickly lose juice if your truck, SUV or sedan has problems with the electrical system. The problem may be your vehicle's alternator, which recharges the battery whenever you drive. A worn out or damaged alternator may not produce enough electricity to replenish all the power used during driving (think starting the vehicle, operating lights, powering windows and recharging smart phones).
(Quick Lane at NorthStar Ford recycles automotive batteries. This environmentally-friendly program helps reduce resources needed to manufacture new batteries while diverting toxic waste from landfills.)
Don't let all the small electronics turn a good day bad
It’s not enough anymore for your car’s battery to just help start the engine. It also needs to power a navigation system, charge your cell phone, operate a back-up camera and a plethora of 21st century conveniences.
So how do you ensure your battery has enough strength to do all that and prevent you from being stranded thousands of miles from home on your summer road trip?
