When Is It Time to Replace the Sprinter Battery?

Look out for one or more of the following warning signs that your vehicle’s battery needs replacing:

  • Cranking and startup is sluggish
  • Battery contains low fluid levels
  • Battery starts to leak fluid
  • A swollen or bloated battery case
  • The “Check Battery” warning light is illuminated

If you want your battery to last as long as possible on the roads of Riverside, it’s important to understand the factors below that affect how frequently you should replace a Sprinter battery.

Climate

General average temperatures are a factor in determining battery lifespan. Cold temperatures are generally easier on a car battery, while hot temperatures make the battery work harder, leading to a shorter lifespan.

Battery and Vehicle Byproducts

Over time, grease and corrosion can accumulate on the battery and its terminals. Grease can drain power from the battery, while corrosion reduces current flow. You can help cut back on harmful battery byproducts by visiting our Service Center regularly.

Staying Ahead of Battery Health

To ensure your battery stays healthy, it’s recommended to drive your vehicle at least once a week. Allowing your vehicle to sit idle for too long can result in the battery dying and needing a jump-start, which can significantly shorten its overall lifespan. However, this is usually not a concern for commercial vehicles like the Sprinter van, as they are typically driven more frequently around the Los Angeles area.
