Car Battery Replacement
We come to you for car battery replacement
Your car battery is what gets your engine started and powers your vehicle’s electrical systems. Once the engine is running, the alternator takes over, but without a healthy battery, you’re not going anywhere.
If your battery is struggling or flat, it can put extra strain on your alternator and lead to bigger issues if left too long.
At MB Motorsport & Auto, we can test your battery and replace it on the spot with a quality unit suited to your vehicle.
We come to you, so you’re not stuck waiting around or dealing with a car that won’t start.

Why does my car battery keep going flat?
- Vibrations caused by severe off-road driving will lead to the erosion of car battery plates. Sediment that builds up at the bottom of the battery case can short-circuit the positive and negative plates, eventually causing complete battery failure.
- Another common reason batteries can discharge is lack of use. If a vehicle is parked for long periods of time and driven only short distances, the battery plates might coat themselves with sulphate crystals, which will reduce their ability to absorb and discharge electrical current.
- Overcharging your car battery can shorten its life by boiling away the battery’s electrolyte and exposing the battery plates to atmospheric air. The symptoms of overcharging are a wet-looking battery case and a distinct sulphurous odour.
- A 12-volt battery comprises six cells — where each fully-charged cell produces about 2.2 volts. The failure of an individual cell can reduce the battery terminal voltage to 10.4 volts, resulting in hard starting and cold engine performance complaints.
