How often do RACQ batteries need to be replaced?

How often do RACQ batteries need to be replaced?

RACQ guy came, put something in and said 90% of their roadside assists are batteries. He said replace them every 3 years, regardless. If you’re buying the absolute cheapest battery, yeah, 3-4 years. Good batteries can go 5-6, but going past 5 is doing well. They come out cause you have a flat battery.

Do you get a commission for selling RACQ batteries?

The RACQ patrol blokes do get a commission for each battery sold. One thing people need to remember is the RACQ is not pure as the driven snow. They’re there to serve their own needs and agenda.

Why does my RACV battery keep going flat?

My son purchased an RACV battery for his car but in less than two years it kept going flat. RACV said the car was not being driven enough. However the battery was regularly being charged overnight using a car battery charger but still went flat inside about a week.

Can a RACQ road side assist battery be voided?

The battery was dead and the Road side assist was going to cover it for warranty but apparently, the warranty was voided in the first instance. I spoke with RACQ and it seems like it is in their warranty statement that if the battery is discharge, they will void the warran… ty (and the worst thing about it is, they won’t let you know about it).

Need roadside assistance?

Is there a warranty on RACQ road side assist?

I’ve got a battery from them and after 9 months used, it was discharge by a light (according to them). Then come 2 months (so 11 months all up), it was flat and they came to have a look. The battery was dead and the Road side assist was going to cover it for warranty but apparently, the warranty was voided in the first instance.

Why is the car battery warning light on?

It’s the number one cause of vehicle breakdowns and is a especially common common in the winter. Most cars have only the red battery warning light. If the red warning light comes on, it means the battery is no longer being charged due to a fault with the battery charging system.
