Do Name Brand Batteries Actually Perform Better?

Ford-Certified Batteries in Gainesville, FL

Dead car batteries are the worst. Not only is it annoying to hear the engine constantly turning over, but it's scary to be stuck at gas stations or grocery stores late at night, and it can be annoying if you're late for work. That's why the service and parts professionals here at Parks Ford of Gainesville recommend getting Ford-certified batteries to ensure your car performs better. Keep reading to learn more!

Starting Power

When it gets colder outside, your engine needs more battery power to start up. Your regular, run-of-the-mill replacement battery often won't provide the power necessary to do this, while a name-brand battery often will.

Reduced Drain

Newer vehicles tend to use their batteries even when they're turned off because of modern technology like security systems. Although these systems don't drain the battery a lot, they can wear down an already weak battery when left parked for an extended period of time. A name-brand battery often handles drain better than a generic one would.

Overall Reliability

Because name-brand batteries usually come with warranties, you can expect them to get you from point A to point B more reliably than a generic battery would. You'll deal with fewer late nights stuck at the gas station and more time out on the road, not even worried about your battery.
