• Battery load and state-of-health testing
• Charging-system output testing
• Terminal and hold-down cleaning and inspection

A battery can lose capacity gradually and then fail suddenly, often after summer heat and on the first cold morning. A battery that is more than a few years old deserves testing rather than a guess about remaining life. Schedule a battery load test for your 2016 Subaru Forester at Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley.

• Capacity may decline before failure
• Cold mornings can expose a weak battery
• A load test measures remaining battery strength

These symptoms can point to declining battery capacity or a charging-system concern. Testing the battery and charging system together provides a clearer answer than judging by starting performance alone. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley can check your Forester in Greeley, CO.
