Batteries

The battery is a bit like the heart of your engine. If it works properly, so does your engine. And you enjoy safe and pleasant driving. All batteries sold at Dessie’s Tyre’s come with a 2 year manufacturer warranty for added piece of mind.

Why is the battery important?

The main task of a battery is to provide the energy your engine needs to get going. It also supports other electronic devices of the car such as lights, radio, etc..

How do I know when something is wrong with the battery?

If your car doesn’t start or it starts but the starter is working very slowly, this indicates that there is a problem with your battery. You should also pay attention to the sign on the dashboard that stands for “battery”. If there is a problem with the battery, the sign will be red.

How to avoid problems with your battery

In wintertime, there’s a greater risk because your engine needs more energy to start and the performance of the battery drops at lower temperatures. And you also use more devices that need energy such as lights, windscreen heating, fog lights, etc. This is why most battery problems occur during the winter season.
