Car batteries are something we all take for granted.
We put the key in the ignition, turn it and in an instant it sparks our engine to life.
But what happens when your car battery fails, when it's stone cold dead, your car is stuck outside your home or workplace and you're going nowhere?
Of course, winter puts an additional strain on batteries, because the colder it gets the more power our engines need to get them started. Then there is the fact that lights, heaters, heated windscreens , heated seats and windscreen wipers are all putting extra demands on the battery. A car battery usually only has a lifespan of about five years, but even relatively new ones can go wrong due to constant use of the heater, heated seats, lights, etc.
While most vehicles traditionally rely on a single battery to power the electrical systems, some modern cars, and luxury vehicles are now equipped with a secondary power source — the auxiliary battery.
If you have a faulty auxiliary battery, your car's electrical components and safety features will stop working. This includes; Entertainment system, GPS, audio system, PDC sensors, Blind Spot Assist, and Lane Keeping Assist. The worst is that the car may fail to start or stop.
Vehicles with a start-stop system require a special battery, typically an AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) or EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) battery, as regular batteries are not designed to handle the frequent deep cycling and high power demands of these systems.
