Automotive Tips from Meadows Automotive White Lake: Battery Testing

May 11, 2025

The simple fact is that 70% of car batteries fail within 4 years. They just need to be replaced at Meadows Automotive White Lake when they are no longer able to hold a full charge.

Batteries are a big ticket item for most White Lake Twp drivers and it’s tempting to put off buying a new one as long as possible. But a battery that cannot hold a full charge requires the alternator to work extra hard, causing it to wear out prematurely.

Your Meadows Automotive White Lake service advisor can test your battery to see if it should be replaced. Testing is a good idea for MI drivers because a battery might still be good, but become dead because of a bad alternator or even a worn serpentine belt and tensioner.
