Function

If you drive a vehicle with a combustion engine, then it has a battery under the hood that serves multiple purposes. First of all, it’s responsible for getting the engine started. Since it sends energy to the spark plug, which revs up your motor when you turn the key in the ignition, a well-tended power source is essential for travel down Bloomfield Road. Also, all the electronic devices in your cabin draw energy from the battery. Phone chargers, touchscreens, speakers, and even lights would not function properly without the battery. It has an alternator to recharge its power over time, but it will still need to be replaced after several years.

Timeframe

The batteries in most Mazda vehicles will last an average of three to five years, but this is an estimate, so be sure to check with your Owner’s Manual to be certain. Also, whenever you visit our local dealership for routine service, have us test and inspect the battery. This will allow us to tell if it has a proper level of charge for your outings on 3rd Street. If it’s low, we might suggest getting it charged up, but if it’s unable to sustain electricity, then a new component may be necessary. We’ll also check for rust or corrosion on the terminals, as these are signs of age and degradation. Our Indiana winter weather is hard on batteries, so have us look at the component often.
