Vauxhall Car Battery

Do you think it could be time your Vauxhall got a battery replacement? Whether it's time for a new battery or you're just thinking of getting a check-up to be on the safe side, we can help you. Book a free battery test with us, so that we can find any underlying problems before they cause a more serious issue.

These include high-specification and premium options suitable for all budgets and Vauxhall models.

Our batteries offer great value for money and are high quality, produced by the leading brand NAPA. Not only do we ensure a high-quality power source, but our Vauxhall car batteries also come with a four or five-year warranty.

To get started, simply type your car's registration into the battery search tool at the top of the page and get an idea of what you might need. With over 235 locations all around the UK, there's a good chance that we can supply and fit your battery locally.

How do I know if I need a replacement Vauxhall battery?

Lifespans vary from battery to battery. After three years, you may notice your battery's efficiency starts to wane. There's no specific date to use as a guideline for when you should replace it, but you can watch out for several tell-tale signs:

• Dashboard warning lights can signal that there's an urgent issue with your Vauxhall's battery.
• If you're having trouble getting your car to start, a battery problem could be to blame. Batteries can get less efficient as they age, producing less power to start the car when you use the ignition.
• If your car starts exhibiting electrical problems, such as dimmed lights or unresponsive issues, this could mean that your battery is flagging. You're likely to experience these issues when your battery is about to go flat.

How do I get my Vauxhall car battery tested?

If you have the right equipment, it is possible to test your Vauxhall battery at home. However, it's a lot easier to bring your car to your local National Tyre and Autocare branch.

Our free battery test can pinpoint any potential issues before they get more serious. Bring your Vauxhall to us and we'll test the voltage, start capacity and overall condition of the battery to see what the state of play is. If necessary, our technicians can arrange for a hassle-free Vauxhall battery replacement.

What type of battery does my Vauxhall need?

One way to find out the type of battery your Vauxhall needs is to consult the owner's manual. Alternatively, just type your car's registration number into the battery search tool at the top of the page.

NAPA AGM

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

AGM batteries also feature a fibreglass mat that absorbs leaked sulphuric acid. Their lifespan is fairly long and they provide lower CO2 emissions than advanced flooded batteries (AFBs).

NAPA AFB

AFBs are an evolution of standard wet-flooded batteries. They are also known as enhanced cycle mat (ECM) or enhanced flooded batteries (EFB).

AFB technology is designed for vehicles that use stop-start technology, offering cyclic performance.

NAPA PLUS

NAPA PLUS batteries are high-performance, offering an extra 30% power. These batteries are specially designed to support vehicles that include satellite navigation and media player facilities. And these batteries offer the benefit of increased shelf life.

They also use labyrinth technology to guide water back into the battery to maintain a healthy liquid level and are suitable for cars with diesel engines.

NAPA

The standard flooded lead-acid battery from NAPA can be fitted to most vehicles. The NAPA's calcium/calcium technology helps increase battery life and offers great resistance to high temperatures, as well as reduced water loss. Their lead plates store electricity by reacting with battery acid when charged.

What's the price of a Vauxhall battery replacement?

Is there a mobile Vauxhall battery fitting service?

Yes! You may not be able to make it into one of our branches, as your battery may already be flat or you might just be too busy.

If this is the case, we can come to you and fit your new battery at your home or workplace. Our mobile Vauxhall battery fitting service operates all year round and can be arranged at whichever time suits you.

How long will my new Vauxhall car battery last?

This is something that depends on several factors. The specific Vauxhall model you own, how you drive the car and what conditions it's exposed to are all things that affect battery longevity. In general, you can expect the battery to last four or five years, at least.

In fact, we offer a four or five-year warranty with all our new NAPA batteries. The length of your warranty will depend on which one you get:

• NAPA battery range: four-year guarantee
• NAPA Plus: five-year guarantee
• NAPA AFB and AGM ranges: five-year guarantee

How should I dispose of the Vauxhall car battery I no longer need?

The first thing to be aware of is that car batteries are hazardous waste. Never throw one away with your household waste, as this is both dangerous and illegal.

Luckily, we can dispose of it for you. Leave the old battery with us and we'll see it gets disposed of responsibly through our registered environmental waste carriers.
