    Misconceptions (and truths) about car batteries

    There's plenty of confusion regarding batteries. Our battery experts have fact checked some common misconceptions, so you don't have to.

    misconception

    Batteries don’t fail often

    truth

    The average battery failure rate in Australia is 24%.
    Batteries are the leading cause of vehicle breakdowns.

    misconception

    The alternator will recharge a battery

    truth

    Modern cars have smart charging systems as part of emissions management. This means the Engine Control Unit (ECU) will switch off the alternator, then charge for short periods at very high rates. The result is that flat batteries don't recharge correctly.
    On flat, failed or failing batteries, alternators don't recharge the battery sufficiently or effectively due to very high charge rates.

    misconception

    Battery testers aren’t commonly used in workshops

    truth

    Battery testing technology is being incorporated as standard procedure in leading workshops across Australia.
