Signs your battery needs to be replaced: 

If you think your battery needs to be replaced, schedule an appointment with the service technicians at Mercedes-Benz of Fayetteville. If you’re not sure if your battery needs to be replaced, here are some signs to look out for:

  • Weak- or dim- headlights
  • Slow engine turnover
  • Check engine light is on

Tips to maximize your battery’s life: 

In order to maximize your battery’s life, drivers should make sure your battery is securely fastened inside your vehicle. Excessive vibration can damage the battery’s internal components- shortening the battery’s lifespan. Other tips to maximize battery life include: 

  • Minimizing heat exposure
  • Don’t leave the car unused for long periods
  • Minimize power when engine is off

What to know about the Alternator in your vehicle:

An alternator is a generator that converts mechanical energy into electricity for your Mercedes-Benz car or SUV to use in order to continually recharge your battery. In the absence of this power supply, your car battery’s power reserve would be insufficient to maintain your Mercedes-Benz electrical system while traveling. 

To help you properly maintain your alternator and keep your Mercedes-Benz running at its best, Mercedes-Benz of Fayetteville wants to provide our customers with a list of warning signs that could indicate your vehicle’s alternator needs to be serviced. 

  • Dim Lights or Overly Bright Lights – These could include interior lights, dashboard lights, headlights, and taillights. You may also notice that the lights in your car are flickering while in use. Other electrical components in the vehicle may also work more slowly than is usual 
  • Difficulty with Starting Your Car, Frequent Stalling, or Dead Battery – While sometimes, this can just be a failing battery, a malfunctioning alternator can be spotted if your battery is dying more frequently than it should be. Another indicator is when you are trying to jump start a depleted battery and the battery will not continue to run once disconnected from jumper cables
  • Strange or Burning Smell – As alternators work with a belt system, if a belt is malfunctioning, you may notice the smell of burning rubber. You may also smell heated wires if the electrical system is malfunctioning due to your alternator not operating correctly
