When Should You Replace Your Car Battery?
Most car batteries hold up for roughly three to five years, though several factors can cut that lifespan shorter. Des Moines’ seasonal weather swings, including extreme heat or cold, can wear down battery performance faster than you’d expect. Slow cranking when you start your car, headlights that seem dimmer than usual, or an unexpected check engine light are all good reasons to bring your vehicle to Quality Auto & Electric for a battery check. Age is another factor to watch. Once your battery is nearing three years old, it’s a smart idea to have it tested, particularly before the heat of summer or the cold of winter sets in. Catching a weak battery early can save you from getting stranded later.
Electrical System Diagnostics
Today’s vehicles rely on a web of electrical systems, everything from body control modules to engine control units, and pinpointing an electrical fault can be tricky without the right tools and experience. That’s exactly where our ASE-certified team at Quality Auto & Electric comes in, equipped to track down and resolve electrical issues in any car, truck, or SUV.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We've got answers. Browse through our most common questions below.
How do I know if my car battery needs to be replaced?
Common signs include slow engine cranking, dimming headlights, and an illuminated check engine light. Most batteries last three to five years, so age is also a good indicator it may be time for a test.
How long does a car battery typically last?
Most car batteries last between three and five years, though extreme temperatures and driving habits can shorten this lifespan.
What's included in a battery replacement service?
Our service includes battery testing, terminal cleaning, alternator and starter checks, professional installation, and eco-friendly disposal of your old battery.
Can a bad alternator drain my battery?
Yes. A failing alternator can’t properly recharge your battery while driving, which can lead to a dead battery even if the battery itself is in good condition. That’s why we check the alternator during every battery service.
