Good to know
Heat is hard on batteries
People blame cold mornings for flat batteries, but heat does most of the damage. High temperatures speed up the chemical wear inside a battery, and Mildura summers regularly pass 40°C. A battery can be weakened over summer and then fail on the first cool morning.
A quick load test at your next service shows how much life is left, so you can replace it on your schedule rather than in a car park.
Signs of a battery or charging problem
- The engine cranks slowly, especially first thing in the morning
- A clicking sound when you turn the key and nothing happens
- Battery or charging warning light on the dash
- Headlights dim at idle or flicker
- You've needed a jump start more than once
- The battery is more than a few years old

FAQ
Batteries & electrical questions
How long does a car battery last in Mildura?
Heat shortens battery life, so batteries here often need replacing sooner than in cooler places. We test your battery at every service and tell you when it's getting weak.
My car has stop-start. Does it need a special battery?
Yes. Stop-start cars need an AGM or EFB battery built for frequent restarts, and some models need the new battery registered to the car's computer. We fit the right type for your car.
Is it the battery or the alternator?
A battery that won't hold charge and an alternator that isn't charging can look the same from the driver's seat. We test both so you only replace what's actually failed.
