Battery Testing and Replacement Near Leesburg, FL
Florida heat kills batteries faster than the cold does. Most batteries in central Florida last three to five years. RJ Fox Automotive performs battery testing and replacement for all makes and models at our Eustis shop, about fifteen minutes from Leesburg on US-441 South.
We load-test the battery under real starting current demand, check the alternator output and charging system at the same time, and inspect the terminals and cables. If the alternator is not charging properly, a new battery is just a temporary fix. We check the whole picture before recommending anything.
