Changing a car battery in Kronau

A flat car battery is by far the most common cause of breakdowns in Germany – particularly during the cold winter months. Anyone who gets into their car in the morning and hears only a faint click will be familiar with the problem. At Auto Klevenz GmbH in 76709 Kronau, we offer a quick and professional battery replacement service for all makes and models of vehicle. Your vehicle is often ready to go again within 30 minutes.

Before we replace the battery, we carry out a free battery test. During this, we check the capacity, state of charge and cold-start current. Sometimes the problem isn’t with the battery at all, but with the alternator or the charging system – we’ll find that out too.

What type of battery does your vehicle need?

Not every battery is suitable for every vehicle. Whilst older models can make do with a simple standard wet battery, modern vehicles with automatic start-stop systems require special AGM or EFB batteries. These are significantly more powerful and durable, as they can easily withstand frequent charging and discharging cycles. Using the wrong type of battery can lead to malfunctions and damage in modern vehicles.
 

Klevenz Tip
In modern vehicles, the new battery must be programmed into the engine control unit after replacement. Without this programming, the vehicle will not recognise that a new battery has been fitted – which significantly shortens its service life. We will, of course, take care of this for you.

 
When is the battery due for replacement?

A car battery has an average lifespan of 4 to 6 years. The following signs indicate a weak or faulty battery: the engine turns over slowly when starting, the starter motor is slow to respond, the radio or interior lights flicker when starting, or the battery warning light comes on. In this case, don’t wait until your next breakdown – come and see us in Kronau for a free check.
