Batteries

Your battery supplies the electronic charge to start your car when it is not running. It is also a reserve capacitor to protect sensitive electronics on your car from voltage spikes from the alternator.

A bad battery can not only fail to start your car, but in extreme times, it can cause your car to die on the road. Extreme heat or freezing cold temperatures can also cause a weak battery to fail. Performance tests on your battery can tell you its levels. If the results indicate your battery is in need of replacement, American Tire Idaho can get you recommendations.
