When you push the ignition button or turn the key, the battery sends a powerful surge of electricity to the starter, which turns over the engine to start your vehicle. This is the key function of the battery, but it does do other things, as well. For example, it provides power to the electrical components of your vehicle when your car is off. This is why you don’t have to reset your clock or your radio settings every time you drive; the battery provides enough power to keep them going. This is also why leaving the lights on overnight will drain your battery.
The battery in your Volkswagen car or SUV will likely last up to four years, and possibly even longer. However, we recommend having it regularly tested to ensure that it’s still capable of holding enough of a charge. After all, there are few things more frustrating than being suddenly and unexpectedly stranded in need of a jump start. In addition to inspections, there are a few ways you can keep an eye on the battery yourself.
If your battery is no longer able to hold a sufficient charge, you may find that your car is harder to start. In addition, you may find that, when the engine is turned off, the lights are dim or they flicker. If you notice either of these two signs, it’s time for a battery inspection and possibly replacement.
