Car Battery Testing in Khalifa City conditions

Signs you need Car Battery Testing
- The battery is past its second summer
- Starting has begun to sound lazy, although it still works
- You are about to leave the car parked for a holiday
- The car needed a jump start recently and you do not know why
- You are buying a used car and want to know the state of its battery
Where the battery comes in
When the test says replace, a car battery change is done on the spot from stock on the van. When it says discharged but healthy, a car battery jump start and a decent drive is all it needs.
How Car Battery Testing works
- 1
Let it rest
If you can, leave the car switched off for an hour or so before we arrive. A rested battery gives the truest reading.
- 2
Connect and read the label
We enter the battery's rated CCA and its type, flooded, EFB or AGM, into the tester and clamp on at the terminals.
- 3
Crank and charge tests
You start the engine while we measure the voltage dip, then we load the system with AC, lights and the rear demister to see what the alternator does.
- 4
Explain the result
Good, weak or replace, with the figures shown to you on the tester screen. If it is good, that is the end of the visit.

What Khalifa City drivers say on Google
Reviews from customers of our mobile battery teams in and around Khalifa City.
- Khalid A.Nissan Patrol, Khalifa City3 weeks ago
The Patrol would only click on the morning of the school run. I sent my location on WhatsApp and the technician was at the villa in about half an hour. He tested the old battery first, showed me the reading, then changed it in the driveway.
- Sarah M.Kia Sportage, Al Raha Gardensa month ago
Came back from three weeks away to a completely dead car. I assumed I needed a new battery, but the technician tested it and said it only needed a jump start and a proper drive. I appreciated not being sold something I did not need.
- Arjun P.Toyota Camry, Al Rayyana2 weeks ago
My Camry was down in the basement at Al Rayyana and I was not sure anyone would come to the bay. The technician left his van in a visitor space and carried the battery and tools down to me. Paid by card and the old battery went with him.

Car Battery Testing: questions and answers
Is the battery test really free?
Yes, the test is free on every visit. We test before we recommend anything, and if the battery is healthy we tell you so.
How long does a car battery test take?
About ten minutes for the battery, starter and alternator together. Tracing an overnight drain takes longer because the car has to go to sleep before the current can be measured.
What do the test results mean?
State of health is how much of the original capacity is left, and measured CCA is the starting power right now. A battery reading well below its rated CCA will start the car today and let you down without warning. We show you both figures on the screen.
How often should I test my battery in Abu Dhabi?
Once a year until it is two years old, then before every summer. Batteries in the UAE commonly last around 2 to 3 years, so the third summer is the one to watch.
Can you test AGM and EFB batteries on start-stop cars?
Yes, the tester has separate modes for AGM and EFB, and using the wrong mode gives a wrong answer. If a replacement is needed it comes with a warranty of upto 24 months and is registered to the car where required.
