Car Battery Replacement in Hebburn, Tyne and Wear

Slow to start or completely flat? Banks Of The Tyne Motor Company in Hebburn tests and replaces car and van batteries, including AGM and EFB batteries for stop-start vehicles, with registration and coding where required.

Car Battery Testing & Replacement

Most car batteries last around four to six years. Cold North East mornings and lots of short journeys shorten that, and modern cars with stop-start systems need specific AGM or EFB batteries that are correctly registered to the car's battery management system.

We'll test your battery and charging system first. If the battery is fine, we'll look for what's draining it. If it needs replacing, we'll fit the correct type for your car and code it where required, so stop-start and charging work as they should.

No more slow cranking on cold mornings.

Correct Type & Coding

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a car battery last?

Typically four to six years, depending on the battery, climate and how the car is used. Short trips don't give the alternator time to recharge it fully.

Why does my car need a special battery?

Cars with stop-start technology need AGM or EFB batteries designed for frequent restarts. Fitting a standard battery will shorten its life and can stop the system working.

What is battery coding?

Many modern cars need the new battery registered with the battery management system so it charges correctly. We have the equipment to do this.
