Car Battery Services

During the chillier months, the reliability of your vehicle is paramount. A crucial yet often overlooked component is your car battery. At Launnie Automotive in Invermay, we highlight the importance of routine battery check-ups to avert unexpected failures and keep your vehicle running smoothly. We service a variety of vehicles including passenger cars, 4x4s, Utes, Vans, and SUVs, in and around Launceston.

Complimentary Battery Testing

If you're uncertain about your battery's condition, visit our workshop during business hours for a Battery Test without a booking. Our team at Launnie Automotive are here to assist. Using tools like a Battery Load Tester, we quickly evaluate your battery’s health. This assessment provides peace of mind, and if needed, we can replace your battery promptly, ensuring your vehicle stays operational with minimal inconvenience.

Battery Charging

We offer specialised car battery charging services that ensure the longevity and efficiency of your vehicle's battery. Utilising advanced diagnostic tools, we can accurately assess the battery's condition and determine the most appropriate charging method. The charging time can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the type of battery, its current state of charge, and the charging technology used. Our smart charging systems can optimise the charging rate and duration to prevent overcharging and extend battery life.

Top-Quality Batteries for All Vehicles

At Launnie Automotive, we recognise the essential function your vehicle's battery serves in activating the starter, running the engine, and powering electrical systems. To support this, we offer an extensive selection of high quality, reliable batteries tailored to suit any vehicle. Should you notice issues such as sluggish cranking, fading lights, or abrupt power drops, it’s crucial to have our expert mechanics test your battery.

Impact of Cold Weather on Car Batteries

Cold weather is notorious for affecting car battery performance. Low temperatures decrease a battery's charge capacity, placing additional strain on it when starting your vehicle. This increased strain can reduce the battery’s lifespan or even prevent your car from starting. This is particularly concerning for batteries over three years old, as their efficiency diminishes. Regular testing is essential to ensure your vehicle remains functional during the colder months.

Importance of Routine Battery Inspections

At Launnie Automotive, we can’t stress enough the significance of regular battery inspections, especially before winter sets in. Batteries older than three years are prone to wear and tear, which can compromise performance and reliability. Frequent checks help us spot potential issues early, preventing the hassle of an unexpected battery failure.

Comprehensive Auto Electrical Services

Beyond battery checks, Launnie Automotive also offers inspections and replacements for auto electrical components powered by the battery. This thorough service ensures your entire electrical system is in peak condition, further enhancing your vehicle’s dependability.
