Kia Battery Check Service

What is a Kia Battery Health Check?

A battery health check involves a technician checking the voltage output of your battery while the car's engine is turned off. The car battery voltage should put out 12.6 volts if it's healthy and has a good battery charge. If the car battery voltage is any less than that, the battery may be starting to fail. The technician then checks the battery's cranking power by watching voltage output while another technician turns the car over.

Why Should I Get My Kia Car Battery Inspected?

Your Kia's car battery has a finite life span and its ability to hold a charge lessens over time and use. Lower battery charge capacity results in a car that's harder to start, and can eventually lead to a dead battery that doesn't have enough power to turn the car over. You may not notice the loss of battery power until it's too late and wind up needing a jump to get your car home. Getting your Kia car battery inspected regularly helps you stay on top of your battery health and get a replacement when the time comes.

Kia Battery Inspection Intervals

A car battery lasts anywhere from three to five years, depending on various factors. You should get your Kia car battery checked twice a year or every 6,000 miles. You can ask for a battery health check when you bring your car to our dealership for an oil change service. Our technicians can quickly check your battery charge output while they're changing the oil.
