Maintenance Tip
Enhancing the Performance of Your Jeep Compass Car Battery
Regularly assessing the health of your Compass automotive battery is crucial, especially as it ages or if you notice symptoms such as slow engine cranking, dimming lights, an illuminated dashboard battery light or difficulty starting the engine.
If you notice any of these warning signs of poor battery performance or failure, a professional inspection is recommended. One of our authorized Interstate dealers can conduct a battery test to assess its condition and advise whether a replacement is necessary.
Consistent maintenance, such as keeping terminals clean and inspecting cables, can extend the battery's lifespan. However, prompt replacement is advised if signs of weakness emerge or the battery reaches the end of its expected life to avoid being stranded with a dead battery.
Understanding the Lifespan of Your Jeep Compass Battery
Generally, a car battery's lifespan is about 3-5 years. However, individual batteries may vary, some lasting longer and others requiring replacement sooner. Factors like battery type, climate, driving habits and maintenance determine the lifespan of your Jeep Compass car battery. Below are some battery basics to help you keep your battery functioning at optimal levels.
- Regular Battery Maintenance: Don't leave your battery unchecked. Lack of battery maintenance can lead to power loss. Inspect your Jeep Compass battery for corrosion build-up, and check the connections for tightness every three months. Clean the tray and cables regularly.
- Be Wary of Accessories: Plug-in accessories can include heated seats, mobile phone chargers, power outlets, stereos, lights, backup cameras and navigation devices, and can increase your vehicle's electrical load. Avoid leaving your air conditioner or stereo running for an extended period with the engine off. Disconnect all electrical accessories after turning off the engine.
- Drive Your Vehicle Often: Your vehicle’s battery stores the electrical power generated by the alternator while the engine is running. Maintaining the correct voltage helps keep the battery in optimal condition.
- Consistent Battery Inspections: If your Jeep Compass' battery is at least three years old, you should have it inspected every six months. Regular vehicle maintenance can help you catch any signs of premature battery failure. Keep an eye on your vehicle's dashboard lights. If your battery warning light is illuminated or you are experiencing a delayed engine crank, it is likely time for a battery inspection.
- Extreme Temperatures: Extreme temperature swings, both hot and cold, can negatively affect battery life. Car batteries wear out over time due to exposure to high temperatures, so if you live in a very hot climate, your battery might have a shorter lifespan. If you live in a colder climate, ensure you select a battery with adequate cold-cranking amps (CCA) to start reliably in winter.
FAQs
Have you noticed excessive corrosion buildup on your battery terminals or around your battery tray? You can easily keep your battery terminals clean at home with just a few safety measures, a wire brush and a suitable battery-cleaning solution.
Check out this helpful guide with step by step instructions on how to safely keep your battery free of corrosion.
Absorbed glass-mat (AGM) technology is a type of fiberglass separator used in some lead-acid batteries, enabling a nonspillable design with high vibration resistance and impact protection. They are among our most popular batteries because of their reliable starting power and faster recharging capabilities.
AGM batteries are ideal for vehicles with high-demand electrical and plug-in accessories, or that feature start-stop technology, both of which require a lot of battery power. Today's power-hungry vehicles require high-performance batteries to meet their high electrical demands.
You can trust Interstate AGM batteries to deliver exceptional performance, even in cold-temperature climates. AGM technology is designed to provide the highest starting power and maintain reliable performance in extreme cold weather.
Non-AGM batteries are built for conventional vehicles with minimal power demands. Like AGM batteries, they are lead-acid batteries, but they do not feature the same nonspillable design. They are generally a more affordable price than AGM batteries and still deliver reliable power.
Factory battery sizes (or BCI Group #) refer to the physical dimensions of the battery, and vary depending on your vehicle's make, year and model. The Jeep Compass requires an 86 or an H6 battery.
Choosing the correct battery size is essential for your vehicle's safety and proper operation. A battery of the wrong size may lead to poor battery connections or may not meet the power demands of your Jeep Compass. If you are unsure what battery is right for your needs, reach out to an Interstate Batteries dealer near you. Our outstanding service team is happy to help you find the perfect battery.
