FAQ
Questions about batteries & electrical
Anything else? Call the shop – we answer during opening hours.
+1 403-571-2886How long does a car battery last in Calgary?
Typically three to five years. Extreme cold and short trips shorten that. If yours is over four years old, have it tested before winter.
Do I need a block heater?
Many local drivers plug in when it is colder than about −15 °C. It eases cold starts and reduces engine wear.
Why does my battery keep dying?
Common causes are a parasitic drain, a failing alternator, corroded connections or short trips. We test each one in turn.
