What Is Your Car’s Battery Replacement Cost?

Where Land Rover vehicles are concerned, your car battery replacement cost will range between $75 and $200, depending on the quality of the battery you select, and whether or not you opt for home installation. For genuine OEM parts designed to optimize performance in your luxurious, adventure-ready SUV, expect to pay something closer to the upper end of that range.

Since car battery replacement service can place a strain on many a monthly budget, it’s important to know when to replace a car battery, and why it’s a good idea to rely on Land Rover approved parts! We’ve covered both items in detail for our Ridgewood-area neighbors.

When to Replace Your Car Battery

Most car batteries last between three and five years. However, if you’ve ever wondered about how often to replace a car battery, you know that the life in these important components can be affected by a range of factors, including weather conditions and how you drive!

So, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of car battery life, but there are several easy ways to tell if your battery is on its last legs. Here’s when to replace a car battery:

• If you see the “Check Battery” light
• If you hear a slow cranking when starting your car
• If you’ve had to jump start your car multiple times in recent memory
• If you have low voltage or low fluid levels in your battery
• If you have a swelling or bloated battery case

If you want to be certain, pick up a voltage meter at our parts department. A fully-charged car battery should sit at 12.6 volts or above.

How to Lengthen Your Car Battery’s Life

Maximizing the value of your Land Rover battery isn’t difficult. In fact, there are a few simple steps that every driver can take to improve their car battery’s life:

• Make sure the battery is secured in its casing
• Avoid using electronics when the battery is off
• Remove corrosion regularly
• Apply anti-corrosion gel when you install a new battery
• Park in the shade to prevent overheating
• Don’t let the car sit for long periods of time between drives
• Avoid short trips, so the alternator has time to charge the battery between starts

Land Rover SUVs are designed to take their drivers and passengers to new heights, but superior performance is always a product of superior equipment. If you want to be prepared for everything the world can throw at you on the roads near Jersey City and Fort Lee, only a genuine Land Rover battery will do.
