Your Hyundai's Battery Is Essential in Getting You Where You Need To Go.
Today's cars are virtually computers on wheels. The battery is the heart of the vehicle and supplies electricity to the complex computer and controllers. Keeping your battery in top shape and prolonging its life will help ensure it provides the zap to power your Hyundai's zip.
Here are steps you can take to maximize your battery's health:
- Don't overtax your battery
- Drive smarter
- Regular maintenance
Avoid using power while the engine is off to ensure your battery maintains a full charge. Many after-market plug-in devices may continually tax your battery even when your car is not running.
The vehicle charging system is maximized when the vehicle is decelerating and coasting. Leave room between you and the car you are following in city driving. Avoid abrupt stopping and accelerating. You may even save some gas too.
Battery performance can be impacted by corrosion, loose connections, dirt, grease buildup on the battery, and more. Many of these conditions can be prevented by routine battery inspections and maintenance. Early detection of potential issues saves you time and money.
The next time you're at your local Hyundai dealer, ask for a complimentary multipoint inspection, which includes a battery test.

How Do I Know If My Hyundai Requires A New Battery?
Is your Hyundai slow to start or won’t turn over? Do you hear a clicking noise every time you put the key in the ignition? These could be indicators of failing batteries and it’s recommended that an expert check out your vehicle. Reach our team at South Shore Hyundai for assistance, or book an appointment today!
How Often Do I Need To Replace My Hyundai Battery?
No matter the make or model, it’s important to have your car battery regularly tested. With Hyundai vehicles in particular, regular tests are especially necessary as batteries tend to last anywhere from 3 to 5 years before needing replacement. A healthy automotive battery should read between 12 and 13 volts; any higher may indicate a faulty unit.
How Safe Is It To Drive With The Battery Light On?
When your Hyundai battery warning light illuminates while you’re driving, it’s important to take precautions and turn off all accessories; like the radio, air conditioner and lights (unless needed for night-time visibility). This helps prevent draining additional power from your battery.
The alternator is designed to charge the car’s main battery as you drive, but if this isn’t working correctly, then eventually there won’t be enough energy remaining in the power source once turned off. If further warning signals appear alongside an illuminated battery light, make sure you pull over safely until expert help arrives. If you’re near Valley Stream and require servicing, please give South Shore Hyundai a call at (844) 422-6810. We can even have your Hyundai brought in to us.
