What Type of Volkswagen Battery Do I Need?

You have plenty of options when selecting your next Volkswagen battery during battery replacement service. Our certified technicians will meet with you personally to discuss your options and help you learn about the different types of batteries and the important components that help extend the life of your Volkswagen battery.

A few things to consider before battery replacement service:

The Type of Volkswagen Battery: If you’re driving a gas-powered vehicle, the most common type of Volkswagen battery is lead-acid or absorbed glass mat, also known as AMG. Electric cars and electric vehicles require either a lithium-ion Volkswagen battery or a nickel metal hydride battery.

Reserve Capacity: When you schedule battery replacement service, our technicians will check the battery’s reserve capacity. This determines the amount of charge and the maximum amperage before the Volkswagen battery discharges completely. If you have a higher rating when tested, this typically means that your Volkswagen battery can handle more, especially when the lights are left on.

Amps: It’s important to know more about cranking amps and cold cranking amps when selecting your next Volkswagen battery. Simply put, the cranking amps determine the amount of power when the weather is 32-degrees F or higher. If you drive in colder climates, the cold cranking amps should be checked. The higher the rating, the better your Volkswagen battery will perform.

When Should I Schedule Battery Replacement Service?

On average, most Volkswagen batteries last for three to five years; however, there are many factors that can affect the timeline for battery replacement service. For example, if you leave lights on overnight, it can wear down the charge on your Volkswagen battery. In addition, your driving habits or engine components can wear down the battery at a faster rate.

There are also some tell-tale signs that you may need battery replacement service. For instance, if your vehicle’s check engine light or battery light illuminates, we recommend scheduling battery replacement service at our auto repair center. Batteries with corrosion on the terminals should also be checked out.
