Why won't my car start? I just hear a clicking sound.

A clicking sound when you turn the key usually means your battery is too weak to turn over the engine. This is the most common sign of a dead or dying car battery. Call us on 0423 845 744 and we'll come to you with a new battery - usually within 30 minutes in Brisbane.

I tried jump starting my car but it still won't start. What now?

If a jump start doesn't work, your battery is likely completely dead and needs replacing. Other possibilities include a faulty alternator, starter motor issues, or corroded terminals. Our technicians will diagnose the problem and if it's the battery, replace it on the spot.

How do I know if I need a new battery or if my alternator is bad?

If your car starts after a jump but dies again shortly after, your alternator might not be charging the battery. If the car won't start at all even with a jump, the battery is likely dead. Our technicians test both your battery and alternator before recommending a replacement.

My car won't start after sitting overnight. Is it the battery?

Most likely, yes. A battery that drains overnight is either old and can't hold a charge, or there's a parasitic drain from something left on. Brisbane heat also shortens battery life significantly. We can test your battery and replace it same-day if needed.

Warranties can be confusing. Let's break down what car battery warranties actually mean and what to look for.

Types of Battery Warranties

Full Replacement Warranty

If your battery fails within this period due to manufacturing defects, you get a brand new one at no cost. This is the gold standard.

Pro-Rata Warranty

After the full replacement period, you get a discount on a new battery based on how long you had the old one. For example, if you're 18 months into a 3-year pro-rata warranty, you might get 50% off a replacement.

Our Warranty

We keep it simple: all our batteries come with a minimum 2-year full replacement warranty. No pro-rata nonsense, no fine print. If it fails, we replace it free.

What Warranties DON'T Cover

Most battery warranties won't cover:

Damage from accidents or misuse
Failure due to faulty vehicle charging system
Batteries that have been recharged multiple times due to external drains
Wear and tear from extreme neglect

How to Make a Warranty Claim

If you bought a battery from us and it fails within the warranty period:

Give us a call — we'll arrange a time to come out
We'll test the battery to confirm it's failed (not an external issue)
If it's a warranty issue, we replace it on the spot for free

Why Warranty Length Matters

A longer warranty usually (but not always) indicates a higher quality battery. Manufacturers confident in their product will back it for longer.

That said, don't just chase the longest warranty — consider the type of warranty too. A 5-year pro-rata warranty might be worth less than a 3-year full replacement.
