A car battery provides the energy your vehicle needs to start the engine and to power the short-term use of lights and other vehicle systems. It is not uncommon to have some questions about this important auto part, such as, “Where can I replace my BMW car battery in Seattle, and how often do you replace your car’s battery?” The BMW Seattle service center is here to help. We answer these questions and more in the following guide to BMW car battery replacement in Seattle.
In basic terms, a battery is a storehouse for chemical energy. When you turn the key in your ignition, the battery sends an electric current to the starter motor, which then activates a series of gears and ultimately a flywheel. The flywheel, once engaged, cranks the crankshaft of the engine, initiating the internal combustion process. Now that your engine has started and your vehicle is ready for Bellevue and Lynnwood roads, the starter motor turns off.
Battery replacement intervals can vary by battery type, model year, and trim level. So, how often do you replace your car’s battery? Consult your owner’s manual for specific guidance, but in general, we suggest a BMW car battery replacement in Seattle be performed every three to four years. Also, be sure to bring your vehicle in for battery inspections and testing every six months or every 6,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
