Batteries

Your car’s battery provides the intital kick of electricity needed to start your vehicle, and once your car is running, stabilises the electricity coming from your alternator, ensuring all of the electrical components receive a steady voltage. If you’re having trouble starting your vehicle, the most common causes are issues with the battery, alternator, ignition switch or starter motor.

Here at Ferntree Gully Auto Electrical & Battery Centre, our expert auto electricians have specialised battery testing equipment to make sure they can isolate the issue and begin working to fix it. If we’ve identified an issue with your battery, we can replace the bad battery and fit the new one, as the increased complexity of auto electrical systems means it’s probably a good idea to let an auto electrician install your new battery rather than do it yourself.

Ferntree Gully Auto Electrical & Battery Centre uses only the best batteries, and we currently stock Bond, Lion and Exide batteries as we believe they currently provide the best performance and reliability for the best price. 

If you’re having issues starting your vehicle, or it’s been 3 years since your last battery, get in touch with one of our friendly staff today!

Starter Motors & Alternators

The alternator provides electrical power to your vehicle once the engine is running, and the starter motor provides the turning power necessary to get your engine running. If your alternator fails, your car will still run for a bit on your battery power, but without the alternator to charge the battery, it will quickly run out of juice and leave you stranded on the side of the road. If you hear a clicking sound when you try to start the engine, it’s usually the starter motor.

Here at Ferntree Gully Auto Electrical & Battery Centre, our skilled auto electricians can help isolate the issue, and once we’ve identified the problem, can repair or replace alternators and starter motors with OEM or aftermarket parts.

Diagnostics

The auto electrical network has come a long way from the early days, and modern auto electrical networks handle everything from playing music and measuring fuel consumption, to assisting with braking and gear changes, even monitoring your vehicle and notifying you of any flaws detected.

Most people know it as the “check engine” light, and the other mysterious symbols that pop up on the dash when you start your car. But these symbols are indicators that you need to run diagnostics.

Here at Ferntree Gully Auto Electrical & Battery Centre, our skilled auto electricians are equipped with cutting edge diagnostic tools, that they can use to generate and analyse a detailed report of the issue. Once we know what’s going on, we will speak with you about repair work and help you make an informed decision.

Wiring

The most common sign of an issue with your vehicle’s wiring is a plastic or rubber burning smell, as the wire shorts, draws more current, and starts to melt the plastic insulation around it. If your sound system or other electrical components have stopped working, that’s another warning that you might need to have your wiring checked.

Ferntree Gully Auto Electrical & Battery Centre’s expert auto electricians can perform any and all wiring repairs, no job is too big or too small!

Electric Brake Controllers

Any trailer or caravan weighing 750kg or more must be fitted with independent brakes to be legally towed on Australian roads. Electric brakes are the most common due to their effectiveness and convenience.

Here at Ferntree Gully Auto Electrical & Battery Centre, we have a wide range of high quality electric brake controllers for sale, and our expert auto electricians can install them for you!

Solar and Dual Battery systems

Dual battery systems connect all or most of your accessories to a second battery (usually deep cycle), and when you start your vehicle, the isolator detects the charge coming from the alternator, and links the 2 batteries together to charge them as you drive. 

Dual battery systems are practically a necessity for camping, and great for long road trips as well. You can use your fridge, lights, and other accessories freely, without fear that you won’t be able to start your vehicle the next day.

Ferntree Gully Auto Electrical & Battery Centre can help you choose and install the right dual battery system for you, and can also install solar systems so you can charge your battery system while parked.
