Dead Battery Rescue
Jump start, battery replacement and charging system diagnostics at the roadside. We will get you started again.
What we do
A dead battery is the number one reason for breakdown callouts in the UK. It can happen to anyone — leave your lights on overnight, have a faulty alternator, or simply own a battery that has reached the end of its life. Whatever the cause, your Recovery Hero will be with you quickly to get you started again.
We carry professional jump start equipment that works on all vehicle types, from small hatchbacks to large vans. Once your engine is running, we test the battery and charging system to find out why it went flat in the first place. If the battery needs replacing, we often carry a suitable replacement in the van and can fit it right there.
There is no need for a membership or annual fee. Just call when you need us and pay for the rescue. Simple as that.
Common battery problems we fix
Engine won't turn over
You turn the key and nothing happens. This is the classic sign of a dead or dying battery.
Clicking sound when starting
A rapid clicking noise usually means the battery has just enough power to engage the starter but not enough to turn the engine.
Dashboard lights are dim
If your lights and dashboard are noticeably dimmer than usual, your battery is struggling.
Battery warning light
The battery symbol on your dashboard means the charging system has detected a fault. Do not ignore it.
Corroded terminals
White or green buildup on your battery terminals can prevent a good connection and stop the car starting.
Old battery
Car batteries typically last 3 to 5 years. If yours is older, it may simply be worn out.
