Even with continuous service and repeated inspections and testing, no battery lasts forever. Periodic service will help you achieve the maximum battery life (typically 6 years, but this can depend on your driving style and conditions), but it won’t make your battery invincible. When your battery no longer has the power to reliably start and power your vehicle, replace it with genuine OEM parts at Central Kia Plano. This will protect your warranty and provide you with a quality battery with plenty of power for the foreseeable future.

If you just take it for granted that your battery is always in good condition without actually having it inspected, you are in danger of having a battery that will fail when you need it most. Especially before setting off on a lengthy road trip, having your battery inspected can make or break your traveling experience. Have your battery inspected at least once per year by a Kia-certified technician at Central Kia of Plano.

An inspection will examine the exterior of your battery for wear and tear, but a battery testing service at Central Kia of Plano will check its actual performance. This service will let you know how much remaining charge your battery has, and whether it’s reliable enough to last for a few more years, or if you need to replace it immediately.
