Auto Batteries


Find reliable and long-lasting auto batteries at Northern Tool. Auto batteries are the heart of a vehicle’s electrical system, providing the power to start the engine and run essential components like lights, wipers, and electronics. Most are lead-acid batteries designed to deliver a strong burst of energy for ignition and then recharge as the engine runs.

A reliable battery ensures consistent performance in all weather conditions, while a weak or failing one can mean hard starts or a complete breakdown. When shopping for an automotive battery, it’s important to consider factors such as cold cranking amps, reserve capacity, and compatibility with your vehicle. Regular maintenance, checking connections and ensuring a proper charge, helps extend the life of your battery.


Automotive Battery Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I know if my vehicle's battery is low on charge, and can I test it myself?
Chances are your battery is low if your engine won’t turn over when you try to start it, or if your interior lamps dim or radio volume drops or turns off. After these indicators, typically warning lights will turn on and your engine will simply stall. You can test your battery with a multimeter that costs roughly $10. Set the multimeter to 15–20 Volts. Then hook the multimeter up to your battery’s positive and negative terminals and read the voltage. You know the voltage of your battery and can compare that against the multimeter reading to determine whether your battery is low on charge.
How long does an automotive battery typically last, and what are the signs that it needs replacement?
You can expective a car battery to last between 3–4 years, unless specified by the manufacturer. Some batteries last as long as 6 years, while others last only 1–2 years. Signs that your battery needs replacement: your battery has lasted as long as the manufacturer indicates it is expected to last and/or any of the following occurs: 1) your car doesn’t start as quickly as it used to, 2) you have to jump start your car often, 3) your battery smells bad or 4) your battery case is bulging.
What are the main factors that can drain a vehicle's battery, and how can I prevent battery drain when the car is not in use?
Yes, many ground protection mats are designed specifically to work on all kinds of terrain, including uneven ground. These mats are typically made of flexible material such as polyethylene, HDPE or polypropylene.
Can I use a battery from a different vehicle make or model as a replacement for my car's battery?
Car batteries are not universal, so you cannot assume one car’s battery will work in another vehicle. Most batteries supply 12 Volts; however, all 12 Volt batteries are not interchangeable. You can check the owner’s manual for your car or truck to see what BCI group size your battery is. If you don’t have an owner’s manual, look at the battery itself for the group size. There are several other critical factors that determine whether a battery will fit a given vehicle, including: 1) battery type, 2) physical size, 3) terminal format, 4) cold cranking amps (CCA) or amp-hour (Ah).
How do I properly maintain my automotive battery to prolong its lifespan and ensure optimal performance?
You can do several things to maintain your car battery to maintain its lifespan and deliver great performance: 1) be sure to drive your vehicle at least once a week for 30 minutes at highway speeds to give your battery the regular boost it needs to stay charged (limit short trips between 30-minute trips), 2) tighten battery cables and clean corrosion from terminals regularly, 3) when your car engine is off, keep power use to a minimum, 4) keep use of electronics to a minimum while idling and 5) use a trickle charger if you are unable to do some of the other recommendations here.
