Top Mobile Car Battery Replacement related questions
The mobile car battery replacement service can be a lifesaver if your car conks out on the road! You don’t have to worry about finding a service centre or hire a towing service. Get on Airtasker, post a detailed job, and mechanics will approach you. Once you hire one, they can go to your location and replace your car’s battery. You can release the payment afterwards. The service is cashless, quick, and can be useful in an emergency.
You are not obligated to provide any tool or piece of equipment to the mechanic to do the service. Usually the specialist you hire will already come equipped with all the right tools and equipment needed. However, if you have any tools or equipment that you prefer, you may lend these to them.
The time it takes to do the car battery replacement process can vary from Tasker to Tasker; overall, the job should take less than two hours. Allow more time if the mechanic has to buy a new battery for you, and if you require them to clean the terminals and battery clamps. Should you have them buy the battery, consider the distance from the shop to your location and traffic conditions.
Even better than that, they can perform all the required tasks. Mechanics can do the dirty work, from disconnecting the terminals to cleaning the clamps and terminals on your battery. They can also dispose of the battery and take it to the appropriate recycling facility. Some mechanics may even offer to buy the battery for you if you don’t have a new battery ready.
The standard practice to ensure your car’s proper operation and avoid any safety or reliability issues is to replace your car’s battery every three years. In four to five years without replacement, the battery can become worn down and less efficient in recharging via the alternator. You should note that the more electronics your car has like power door locks, power windows, sunroof, rear windscreen wipers, reversing camera and other accessories, the quicker your battery drains.
Usually, a car battery will have to be replaced when you see that your headlights are dimming, your electronics aren’t activating or worse - your car doesn’t start. The dimming headlights are usually the earliest warning indicators. You should have the headlights and the alternator inspected if these issues arise, and if the auto electrician finds nothing wrong with them, then the car battery needs replacing.

What do mobile car battery replacement services include?
Battery replacement services: removing the old battery
Your mechanic can remove the old, non-working battery from your car. Note that they can remove the old battery whether your car is a Nissan, Ford, Mazda, BMW, Volvo Evolve or other car make or brand. They can also disconnect the terminals to ensure safe removal. Once removed, the battery can be set aside and placed on a stack of old newspapers or cloth in case the old battery is leaking.
New battery installation
Your mechanic puts in your new battery and does it with the proper safety equipment and best practices. Once the old battery is removed, they clean the battery terminals and clamps to ensure proper function of your car’s new battery.
They use a skinny wire brush, baking soda and water to remove dirt, corrosion, or residue. Your mechanic then puts in the new battery, reconnects the terminals, and tests the new battery by starting your car and activating the electronics.
Old battery disposal
Disposing the old battery is not as simple as tossing it in the rubbish bin. You must never dispose of your old car battery this way as it is both dangerous and illegal. Your mechanic can take your old car battery to a recycling centre or the nearest treatment facility. List this as part of the services you need or you will have to dispose of the old battery by taking it to a recycling centre or garage.
Car battery purchase
If you don’t have a replacement battery yet, some Taskers may offer this service for a small fee. Mechanics can go to the shop and buy the right battery. They can then go back to your location to do the job. Please note that these services are for replacing batteries of cars with conventional engines. Should you have an electric car or need your key fob battery replacement, look for electric car battery replacement or key fob battery replacement services.
