Why it happens
Preventing it happening again
If your car sits unused for long periods, does mostly short trips, or is over four or five years old, a flat battery can become a repeat problem. It's worth having the battery and alternator tested at a garage rather than jump starting it every few weeks, since a battery that keeps going flat is usually telling you it needs replacing.
Common causes of a flat battery
Short journeys that don't give the alternator time to fully recharge the battery are one of the most common causes, particularly in winter when heaters, lights and heated screens all draw extra power. An old battery that's lost its ability to hold charge, an interior light left on overnight, or a small parasitic drain from an aftermarket alarm or dash cam can also leave you flat by morning.
Jump starting on scene
We carry jump packs capable of starting most cars and light vans safely. Once the engine's running we check the charging voltage to confirm the alternator is actually putting power back into the battery — a jump start that fires the engine but doesn't hold charge is a sign of a different fault, usually the alternator or a bad connection rather than the battery itself.
Getting a truck to you in Bordesley Green
Every Bordesley Green job starts with two questions: where exactly, and can the vehicle roll? Access off A45 Coventry Road narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch. Distances we work to here: 8 miles from the Oldbury yard, 3 to the city centre. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point.
