The battery is an energy storage device whose function is to provide the power needed to start the engine. Once the engine is running, it supplies electricity to the vehicle's electrical systems, such as the lights, radio, windshield wipers, and air conditioning.

Yes — not just the engine's starting system, but all of your vehicle's electrical equipment, such as the radio, charger, air conditioning, and more. When a car has a weak battery, for example, it's common for these components to start malfunctioning or not working as they should.

Here are three good reasons:

• Cost savings, as the price is significantly lower than that of a new battery.
• Sustainability, since you extend the useful life of the product and reduce its environmental impact.
• Quality, as all used batteries in our catalog are verified to ensure they are fully functional.

As we mentioned, before listing any part for sale, we first inspect and test it to make sure it is in perfect condition. That means every replacement battery you find in our catalog is reliable and safe.

Our staff uses specialized diagnostic equipment to measure open-circuit voltage, voltage under load, internal resistance, and cold cranking amperage. With this data, we can determine the health of the battery and ensure it is ready to be put back into use.

It depends quite a bit on the condition of the battery. To give you an idea, the average lifespan of a new battery is 4–5 years. But does that mean a used one will last less than that? Not necessarily — the battery could be only a year old, with the vehicle having been sent to the salvage yard for entirely different reasons.

Absolutely — like all of our parts from the salvage yard, the warranty is lifetime. If any issue arises, you can contact us and we will resolve the problem. Please note that in the case of a return, you must ensure the part has not been modified or altered in any way.

No, installation must be carried out by yourself or, if you don't have much mechanical knowledge, by a professional mechanic.

No, batteries are not universal — there are three factors that determine compatibility:

• Size, as the battery must fit perfectly in the engine compartment. If it is too small it could come loose while driving, and if it is too large, it simply won't fit.
• Polarity, as the terminals must be in the correct position. Some batteries have reverse polarity, which means the cables in your car won't reach.
• Power is a key factor, as it must be appropriate for your car's engine. For example, a diesel engine, or one with a large displacement, requires a much higher cold cranking power than a small petrol engine.

You should buy a battery with specifications as close as possible to the one currently in your car. To do this:

• Check the vehicle's owner manual, which usually specifies the battery type, amperage (Ah), and cold cranking amps (CCA).
• Look at the label on your old battery, where you will find all the details, including its size.

Of course, if a mechanic is going to carry out the replacement, they will advise you on the type, model, and dimensions of the battery you need. If you need help finding one in our salvage yard, feel free to contact us, let us know the specifications you're looking for, and we'll check our stock to see if we have it available.
