FAQ
What drains a car battery quickly?
Here are some common things that can drain a car battery quickly:
- Leaving the headlights or interior lights on for an extended period of time
- Using electronic devices, such as a phone charger or GPS, while the engine is off
- A malfunctioning alternator, which is responsible for charging the battery while the engine is running
- A damaged battery, which may not hold a charge effectively
- Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can cause the battery to work harder and drain more quickly
- Short trips or infrequent use of the vehicle may prevent the battery from fully charging during normal driving conditions
- Parasitic draws, which are small electrical loads that continue to draw power from the battery even when the engine is off
- Leaving the car radio or other electronic accessories on for an extended period of time when the engine is off.
It's important to properly maintain your vehicle's battery and electrical system to prevent unexpected battery drain. If you suspect that your battery is draining quickly, it's best to have it checked by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue.
What are the metal things on a car battery called?
The metal things on a car battery are called battery terminals. There are two terminals on a car battery: the positive terminal and the negative terminal. The positive terminal is typically marked with a plus sign (+), while the negative terminal is marked with a minus sign (-). The battery terminals are the connection points for the battery cables that attach to the battery posts. The battery cables are the wires that connect the battery to the vehicle's electrical system, providing power to the starter, alternator, and other electrical components. It's important to keep the battery terminals clean and free of corrosion, as buildup on the terminals can cause poor electrical connections and reduce the battery's performance.
What is the thing that holds a battery called?
The thing that holds a battery in place in a vehicle is called a battery tray. The battery tray is typically made of metal or plastic and is designed to securely hold the battery in place in the engine compartment. The tray usually has a lip or raised edge that fits around the base of the battery, helping to keep it from sliding around or tipping over while the vehicle is in motion. The battery tray also typically has mounting points that allow it to be bolted or screwed in place in the vehicle's engine compartment, providing a secure and stable base for the battery.
Do car accessories drain battery?
Yes, some car accessories can drain the battery if they are left on for an extended period of time, or if they are not properly installed or wired. For example, leaving the headlights or interior lights on for an extended period of time can quickly drain the battery. Similarly, using electronic devices such as a phone charger or GPS while the engine is off can draw power from the battery and cause it to drain more quickly. Other accessories, such as high-powered stereo systems or aftermarket lighting, may require additional wiring or an upgraded alternator to ensure they do not drain the battery. If installed improperly, these accessories can cause a parasitic draw on the battery, which can drain it even when the engine is off. It's important to properly install and maintain all car accessories to ensure that they do not drain the battery or cause other electrical problems. If you suspect that your battery is draining quickly, it's best to have it checked by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue.
About Car Batteries and Accessories - Walmart.com
Stay powered on with essential car batteries
Your car's engine may run on gas but its electrical components, including the headlights, interior electronics and turn signal lights, run off a battery. When your car's battery is old, drained or otherwise not working properly, you may experience problems ranging from a sluggish engine start to leaking battery acid or a "check engine" light on your dashboard.
Whether you're performing routine maintenance or trying to quickly solve an unexpected battery problem, Walmart has the supplies you need to get the job done at Every Day Low Prices. Walmart's automotive department offers a variety of car battery options in different sizes and voltages in addition to useful battery-related accessories such as portable battery chargers, jumper cables and charging system monitors.
Many of the batteries and accessories are available with free two-day shipping or same-day in-store pickup so you can quickly get your car or truck back up and running.
Other options
Car and truck batteries aren't the only vehicle battery options available. You can a find a variety of battery options for other vehicles, adding convenience and efficiency to your shopping experience. You don't have to look anywhere else for your vehicle battery shopping needs.
- Marine batteries: From small motor boats to large yachts, we offer batteries that can suit a large variety of boat types and sizes in a range of different voltages, amperages and dimensions. We also offer both lead acid and lithium-ion marine batteries, giving you the ability to choose just the right replacement for your boat. Some of these batteries are also designed for crossover use with recreational vehicles (RV).
- Lawn and garden batteries: Though they usually aren't as large as a car battery, lawnmowers and other lawn equipment have batteries that need to be replaced periodically. Our assortment of lawn and garden batteries includes those for both riding and walking electric lawn mowers. Batteries come from a range of different manufacturers, including Snapper, Black & Decker, Sears, Yard Man and Toro.
- Power sport batteries: Motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and snowmobiles need batteries, too, and we've got a great selection of batteries that are specially made for these power sport vehicles.

From wheelchairs to kids' toy ride-on cars, we offer the same convenient in-store or home-delivery service for these assorted specialty batteries as we do for all our other battery options in the Car Batteries department.
Replacing your car battery
In most cases, a car battery should be properly disposed of and replaced with a brand-new battery after three years of use. If your battery is three years old or older and you're experiencing issues like sluggish engine ignition or a complete electrical failure caused by a dead battery, it's worth it to simply replace the old model rather than trying to jump start or charge.
In some cases, your car's battery may need to be replaced sooner. For example, if your battery is being drained by a faulty electrical component in the car's audio system, that could lead to the need for early replacement. Multimeters and other battery testers can tell you when your battery is nearing the end of its lifespan, but you can also err on the side of caution and opt for replacement if you know your battery is nearing the three year mark or if you have some sort of electrical system issue that's causing a drain. Recommended replacement times for other vehicle battery types may vary.
Battery selection assistance
While you can often determine what kind of battery to buy for your vehicle by looking at what's currently under the hood, that's not always sufficient. If you aren't sure what kind of replacement battery you need for a given car, truck, lawnmower, boat or power sport vehicle, Walmart offers assistance both online and in store.
Our online Walmart Battery Finder tool allows you to input information like vehicle type, make, model and engine type to determine the right battery match for your needs. It's a simple way to ensure you don't accidentally pick out the wrong battery, which can actually be dangerous to install.
