How do I know if my Skoda's car battery needs to be replaced?

Battery lifespans vary but after three years, there's a chance yours might not be as reliable as it once was. While there's no definite date to go by for when to get it replaced, there are a few tell-tale signs to look out for:

• Dashboard warning lights can tell you there’s an urgent issue with your battery. If you see a battery or engine warning light on the dashboard, make sure you get your battery checked straight away.
• If you're struggling to get your Skoda to start, this could be an indication of a battery issue. Older batteries can lose their efficiency as they age, producing a lower amount of power to start the car when you use the ignition.
• Electrical issues (dimmed lights or unresponsive windows, for example) could be a sign of problems with your Skoda battery. This often presents itself shortly before the battery is about to go flat.

How do I get my Skoda battery tested?

With the right equipment, you could test your Skoda battery at home. It's a lot easier, however, to visit your local National Tyre and Autocare branch and let us do the hard work for you.

We can test your car battery for free, nipping potential problems in the bud before they become more serious. When we test it, we'll examine the voltage, start capacity and condition of your battery. If we find that your Skoda needs a new battery, we can arrange a hassle-free car battery replacement.

What type of car battery does my Skoda require?

One way to check which battery your Skoda needs is by referring to your owner’s manual. You can also check this quickly by typing your car registration into the battery search tool at the top of this page.

NAPA AGM??

NAPA-absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries are sealed lead-acid batteries. Manufactured with fuel-reducing technologies, this type of battery is ideal for cars that have a stop-start system and offer brake energy regeneration.

An AGM battery also has a fibreglass mat that absorbs leaked sulphuric acid. Its lifespan is fairly long and it provides lower CO2 emissions than an advanced flooded battery (AFB).

NAPA AFB??

An evolution of the standard wet flooded batteries, the AFB is also known as an enhanced cycle mat (ECM) or enhanced flooded battery (EFB).

AFB technology offers cyclic performance and is designed for vehicles that make use of stop-start technology.

NAPA PLUS??

When it comes to performance, the NAPA PLUS battery doesn't disappoint. It offers an extra 30% power and is specifically designed to support vehicles with in-built satellite navigation systems and media players. These batteries also have an increased shelf life.

Utilising labyrinth technology, the NAPA PLUS battery guides water back into the battery to maintain healthy fluid levels and is suitable for diesel engines.

NAPA

The standard flooded lead-acid battery from NAPA can be fitted to most vehicles. It's calcium/calcium technology allows for increased battery life and resistance to high temperatures, as well as a reduction in water loss. This battery also features lead plates which store electricity by reacting with battery acid when charged.
