Mobile battery fitting Coventry
Having issues with your van or car battery can be extremely frustrating, especially if it prevents your car from starting. Fortunately, at D&E Auto Repairs to You we can get to your stranded vehicle and carry out a mobile car battery replacement quickly and without much drama.
If your vehicle doesn't start, nine times out of ten (possibly more!) it will be a battery related issue. For older vehicles that are not fitted with automatic lights, it could be down to human error. If your car lights have been left on overnight then they will have drained your battery. Your lights and other electrical related items, such as your radio or electric mirrors, will be non-responsive too. Generally you will simply need your battery recharging rather than replacing. However, we would check your battery's health at the same time, and if your battery is on its last legs we would recommend a replacement. Another repair possibility is that there is simply a poor or loose connection preventing an electric current getting where it should to enable you to start your vehicle.
Repeat flat batteries may indicate an alternator fault.

Flat Battery Callouts in Coventry
A flat battery is one of the most common reasons we get called out. We work 9am to 9pm, seven days a week, and come to wherever the car is: your driveway, your workplace or a car park. We test the battery and the charging system on the spot, so you know whether it needs a recharge, a new battery or a look at the alternator.
If it needs a new battery, we bring a suitable one to you and fit it there and then where we can, or order the right battery for your registration and come back as soon as possible. Either way, there is no need to get the car to a garage or a parts shop.
Mobile Car Battery Repair Coventry
When your car won't start, one of the first things we will check is the health of your battery. If it seems in good health but has run down to become flat, then it can be recharged. There are a couple of ways of doing this: either by jump starting, which is connecting to the battery of another vehicle, or by connecting to a special battery charging unit connected to a mains supply. Once you have got enough charge for your battery to turn over and allow your car to start again, you should try to drive your car continuously for a minimum of 30 minutes. Ideally you'd want to minimise using other electrical items in the car that will also use battery power, such as your lights, phone chargers and display panels, if at all possible.
Car Battery Replacement Coventry
Often, if your car's battery has not been drained by forgetting to turn off your lights, it will be a sign that your battery has come to the end of its life and it will need replacing with a new one. We can use your car registration to make sure the replacement battery is suitable for your car and order one in as soon as possible. For some cars a selection of battery options may be available, and with these options will come a variety of different price points. Some new modern batteries will claim to last up to 10 years and will come at a premium, but a general rule of thumb is that a battery will last somewhere between three and five years. This may seem like quite a wide spread, and it is. This range can be down to a combination of factors, such as the quality of the battery itself, but how and how often a car is driven will affect how it charges, as will its long-term storage. Avoiding lots of short trips and keeping your vehicle in a stable temperature environment if possible will aid its longevity.
We would always recommend choosing a battery which has at least a 5 year guarantee, as this will give you peace of mind, and if it doesn't last that long we will facilitate a free replacement with the manufacturer, if fitted by us.
When we replace a battery we always check the connection terminals. A corroded terminal is not going to get the best out of your new car battery, nor is it likely to help it last as long either. Before connecting a new battery we will clean the connectors and remove corrosion to ensure peak performance from your battery is achieved.

Mobile battery service Coventry
You may be wondering what happens to your old car battery once we remove it. Don't worry: as part of our mobile car battery replacement service we will take away your old battery and ensure that it is disposed of properly at the appropriate recycling facilities. Car batteries do contain some quite toxic materials, most notably sulphuric acid, so it is important that these are handled and disposed of appropriately, and this is another reason why calling a mobile mechanic to replace your battery, rather than attempting to replace one yourself, is a sensible option.
We provide a friendly, affordable vehicle battery replacement service, so simply call us or complete the form with your vehicle location and registration so we can come back to you with a quote.

What causes a car battery to fail?
A common cause of battery failure is age, as the average car battery has a life span of five years, and up to seven years on occasion. Age is not always the cause of premature battery wear: short journeys, where the battery does not get enough chance to fully recharge, can cause a battery to fail early. Another cause can be cold weather on an ageing battery, and another is actually a failing alternator, undercharging constantly if at all. When the headlights and other systems are operating as normal, a good alternator should be charging at roughly 14V on most cars, apart from a few with smart charge systems.
