FAQS ABOUT CAR BATTERY REPLACEMENT

How do I know when my car battery needs replacing?

You should get your battery checked when it’s around three years old. 

However, there are a few warning signs; your vehicle is slow to start, is lacking power, or your battery/engine light is on. Under the hood, look for a bloated or sulfuric-smelling battery. 

Detailed Guide: How long should a car battery last?

What should I do if I need my car battery replaced immediately?

How much does it cost to replace a regular car battery? 

The average price of a car battery depends on the size of the car and the quality of the particular battery. However, the average car battery replacement will start at around $150. 

While cheap car batteries may seem like a good idea at the time, they generally only last around 12 months due to their inferior materials and construction. You may need to replace the battery sooner, which can cost you a lot more than if you went for a quality car battery.

    Caravan and Solar

    If you’re powering Caravan appliances or campers and accessories, you need a deep cycle battery to provide consistent, continuous power over a longer period of time. Think of fridges, ovens or lighting — while these appliances generally use considerably less power than your 4WD or SUV itself, they require power over a longer period of time. This is where our deep cycle batteries excel.At Marshall, we provide AMP-Tech Deep Cycle batteries for caravans, campers, and motorhomes. Being totally maintenance free, these batteries are your perfect on-the-road companions, providing long cycles and preventing micro short circuits.

Connect the battery to your RV solar panel system to recharge, and rest assured you’ll have power the whole way there and back. These Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are completely sealed and maintenance free, achieving a greater number of longer cycles and thereby delivering the best value for money. They are spill proof and specifically designed to be efficient, safe and longer lasting.

  • Marine & Jetski

    Marine & Jetski

    For your boat or jetski, you need a battery that’s designed for life on the water. Out there on the open sea, or even while docked, there are plenty of harsh conditions and environmental factors that can impact a battery’s performance and lifespan. Intense vibration, constant rocking and wave pounding, and trailer transport can all affect your battery. It’s important to buy the right battery to provide power to on-board accessories like your stereo, lights, fish finder, GPS and more. Higher energy applications like a fridge or winch may even require an additional house battery running alongside the engine’s Starter battery. Think of a Marine Starting battery like a regular car battery but designed for Marine application. It delivers cold cranking amps (or “grunt”) to start the engine, and is then continually charged by the alternator. Starter batteries are a must for getting your boat or jetski on the water. A Deep Cycle battery is better suited to longer-term or continuous charging, such as for overnight appliance use. You’ll want a Deep Cycle Boat battery to power fridges, winches, live bait tanks, communication equipment and more. Deep Cycle batteries are built to discharge up to 80%, meaning you can run your Deep Cycle battery appliances for a long time without worrying about depleting the charge and it not recovering. In the middle, you have our Dual Purpose batteries. These combine the best of deep cycle and starting batteries, providing short bursts of starting power as well as longer cycles for your appliances and accessories. Dual Purpose batteries are ideal for running your minor boat accessories and starting your vessel. On smaller watercraft, usually 17ft and below (depending on your boats accessories) they do both starting and house power roles as a main battery. Like Deep Cycle batteries, Dual Purpose batteries are more comfortable being depleted, though are best discharged up to 50% only. We do recommend trickle charging all your boat batteries to get the longest life.
