Car Batteries - Ewhurst, Gatwick & Cranleigh

A failing battery is one of the most common causes of a vehicle failing to start, and one of the easier problems to get ahead of, if you know what to look for.

Modern vehicles place enormous demands on their batteries, with stop-start systems, multiple electronic control units, and increasing numbers of powered accessories all drawing on the same unit. When a battery begins to weaken, the effects can show up in unexpected ways before it fails completely.

At CCM, we carry out battery testing, replacement, and charging system checks across all makes and models.

Signs of a failing battery:

  • Slow or laboured engine cranking on start-up
  • Repeated need to jump-start the vehicle
  • Electrical systems behaving erratically
  • Stop-start system deactivating itself
  • Battery warning light on the dashboard
  • Battery more than four or five years old

What we offer:

  • Battery condition and load testing
  • Battery replacement of the correct specification for your vehicle
  • Alternator and charging system check
  • Battery registration and coding where required by the vehicle’s management system

Battery coding

Many modern vehicles – particularly those from VW Group, BMW, Mercedes, and some others – require the new battery to be registered with the vehicle’s ECU after replacement. Skipping this step can cause charging faults and premature battery failure. We carry out battery coding as standard where it’s required.
