Hello Kentwood drivers! Need a new battery? There is a good chance that you do – 70% of batteries need to be replaced within four years. As your battery discharges and then recharges as you drive around Kentwood, bits of the surface of the battery plates disintegrate. As this process continues over a few years, the alternator has to work harder to supplement the battery charge.

Your Tuffy Kentwood (Kalamazoo Ave SE) service advisor can help you determine the right vehicle replacement battery for the way you drive around Kentwood, as well as the Michigan climate and durability needs.
