Continue reading below to learn more about potential reasons why your battery keeps dying, as well as our battery replacement service.

4 Potential Reasons Why Your Battery Keeps Dying

  • Age: Automotive batteries have a limited lifespan. As they age, their ability to hold a charge diminishes, leading to frequent battery failures. By opting for a Genuine Toyota battery, you can expect a reliable battery that lasts anywhere between 3 to 5 years.
  • Faulty Alternator: Your vehicle’s alternator is responsible for charging the battery while the engine is running. In the uncommon event that it fails, your Toyota’s battery will not receive a proper charge, and it will eventually run out of power.
  • Corroded or Loose Battery Connections: Corrosion or loose connections at the battery terminals can disrupt the flow of electricity, preventing the battery from charging properly. By having one of our Toyota-certified technicians perform a battery health check on your vehicle, we can help you diagnose whether you need to replace your battery or if it’s just a case of loose connections at the terminals.
  • Extreme Temperatures: Living in Northern Ontario, James Toyota customers are no strangers to extreme temperatures. Whether it’s the frigid winter cold or the scorching summer heat, extreme temperatures can affect your battery's performance and reduce its overall lifespan.
