What Our Professional Battery Installation Includes
Sydney drivers trust The Battery Centre with their vehicle’s power for a reason
Pre-Installation Battery Testing
We test your old battery to confirm it actually needs replacement (not just charging). We also test the new battery to verify it’s fully charged and defect-free before installation. This prevents installing a battery that will fail immediately or discovering charging issues after installation.
Proper Installation Procedure
Batteries are installed following correct procedure: negative terminal disconnected first (preventing short circuits), battery secured properly (preventing vibration damage), positive terminal connected first (correct polarity), terminals torqued to specification (not over-tightened or loose), and battery hold-down bracket secured correctly.
Battery Registration
For European vehicles (BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, Porsche) with Battery Management Systems, we register the new battery using professional diagnostic tools. This ensures correct charging parameters, maximum battery life, and proper start-stop system operation. Registration is included—no additional charge.
Final System Verification
We verify all electrical systems function correctly after installation: engine starts properly, no warning lights, accessories operate normally, start-stop system functional (if equipped). We also check for voltage drop and ensure battery monitoring systems recognize the new battery.
We provide complete documentation: warranty certificate, battery specifications, installation date, and care instructions. Proper documentation ensures smooth warranty claims if needed. We also register the battery for warranty purposes with the manufacturer.
Installing Car Batteries in Difficult Locations
Some cars make battery installation unnecessarily complicated. Batteries under the rear seat, in the boot under carpets, buried in the engine bay under covers and brackets — manufacturers love hiding them. We’ve dealt with all of them. BMWs with batteries in the boot requiring trim removal. Chryslers with batteries under the air filter housing. Mercedes with batteries under the passenger seat. Audis with batteries under the floor in the spare tire well. These take longer to install — sometimes 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much needs to be removed to access the battery. But we’ve done enough of these jobs to work efficiently. We know which trim pieces come off easily, which bolts to remove, and where the hidden clips are. If your car has a battery in a difficult location, let us know when you call. We’ll quote the installation time and price accordingly. Standard installation pricing applies to batteries in normal locations — difficult access jobs cost more because they take more time. We bring the right tools for the job. Battery hold-down brackets with unusual fasteners, trim removal tools to avoid breaking clips, extensions and adapters to reach awkward bolts. No jerry-rigging or forcing things — proper tools used properly.

Frequently Asked Questions | Battery Testing Sydney
How long does battery installation take?
Standard battery installation takes 15-30 minutes at our stores or your location. This includes: removing old battery, cleaning terminals, installing new battery, testing charging system, and verifying all systems work correctly. European vehicles requiring battery registration may take 30-45 minutes to complete the full coding process.
Can you install a battery I purchased elsewhere?
Yes, we offer installation-only service for batteries purchased elsewhere. However, we cannot warranty batteries we didn’t supply, and installation-only costs $80-120 (more than our all-inclusive battery + fitting packages). We also can’t guarantee the battery is correct for your vehicle if we didn’t supply it. Best value: purchase battery + installation together from us.
Do I need an appointment for battery installation?
No appointment needed for store installation—just drive in during business hours (Mon-Sat 7am-6pm, Sun 8am-4pm). We install while you wait, typically 15-30 minutes. For mobile installation at your location, we recommend calling ahead to schedule same-day service and ensure we have the correct battery in stock.
Will I lose my radio code when you install the battery?
Possibly—some vehicles (particularly older European and Japanese models) require radio codes after battery disconnection. We use memory savers where possible to prevent this. If your vehicle requires a radio code, we’ll inform you before starting work. Check your vehicle manual or service book for the code before visiting us.
Do you register the battery for European cars?
Yes—battery registration (also called coding or programming) is included in all our installations for vehicles that require it (BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, Porsche, Land Rover, Jaguar). We use professional diagnostic equipment to register the new battery with your vehicle’s Battery Management System. This is essential for correct charging and maximum battery life—no additional charge for this service.
What if my battery is in a difficult location?
No appointment needed for store installation—just drive in during business hours (Mon-Sat 7am-6pm, Sun 8am-4pm). We install while you wait, typically 15-30 minutes. For mobile installation at your location, we recommend calling ahead to schedule same-day service and ensure we have the correct battery in stock.
Do you test the charging system during installation?
Yes—charging system testing is included in every battery installation. We test alternator output voltage and amperage to ensure your new battery will charge correctly. A failing alternator can kill a new battery in weeks, so this test is essential. If we find charging system issues, we’ll inform you before completing installation.
