Bentley-Certified Battery Services

Batteries are vital components that reliably start combustion engines and provide voltage to electronic accessories when the engine is off and the alternator is inactive. The unfortunate reality regarding automotive batteries is that they provide a critical function, but their maintenance is often out of sight and out of mind until failure immobilizes vehicles. The telltale symptoms of a faulty battery carrying excessive failure risk include slow engine cranking, engine cranks but won’t start, the dashboard lights work but the engine won’t start, needing a jump start, electrical accessory performance issues such as dimmer headlights, and a battery over five years old. A dead battery cannot hold an electrical charge and will cause vehicle immobilization. Regular battery inspections with testing are the #1 maintenance to prevent a dead battery from leaving your Bentley stranded. Battery inspections with testing involve a certified technician using a voltmeter to measure the battery’s cold-cranking amps sent to start the engine and reserve capacity stored by the battery. We also inspect the battery’s physical integrity for excessive failure risks, including leaking fluid, case bloating/deformity, and extreme corrosion compromising a strong post-terminal connection. We recommend getting an immediate battery replacement service for batteries that failed the inspection or voltage testing. Battery replacement is a simple, straightforward service that involves an expert technician removing the old battery, inspecting the battery charging system, cleaning corrosion from the terminal to ensure a solid connection to the new battery, and installing the genuine OEM battery recommended for your Bentley model to specifications.
