Chevrolet
Trusted by drivers across Dubai Sports City
The correct fitment for your Chevrolet Avalanche 1500, on the van and fitted where you are. Free test, fitted price on the phone, up to 24 months warranty.
Where this model left the factory with an AGM or EFB battery, that is what goes back in. Fitting down a level to save money is a false economy on this car.
The label, decoded
Two numbers on every battery, and they answer two completely different questions.
Example battery label and tester reading
How long can it run things with the engine off?
A 70Ah battery can in theory supply 3.5 amps for twenty hours. In practice it tells you how long your parked car can feed a tracker, an alarm and the modules before it cannot start. Bigger Ah means more reserve, not more starting power.
How hard can it turn the engine?
The current the battery can deliver for thirty seconds at −18°C while staying above 7.2V. Nobody sees −18°C in Dubai Sports City, but CCA is still the honest measure of a battery's punch - and heat-damaged batteries lose CCA first.
How far can you get if the alternator quits?
Minutes of 25-amp draw before the battery drops to 10.5V. It is the number that decides whether you reach a garage or stop on Sheikh Zayed Road.
How much of the original battery is left?
What our conductance tester reports as a percentage. Under 60% is a replacement whatever the date on the label says.
Match Ah and CCA to the manufacturer's figure or go above it. Never go below either one to save money.
Read the symptoms
Most batteries warn you for a week or two before they strand you. These are the signals, ordered by how close you are to a no-start.
The engine cranks slowly
That laboured wur-wur-wur on a warm morning is the battery failing to hold cranking voltage. Expect a no-start within days.
It only starts on the second try
The first attempt pulls the voltage down; the second borrows what is left. There is no third.
A click, then nothing
One sharp click from the starter solenoid with no crank is the classic flat-battery signature in Dubai Sports City.
Headlights dim at idle
Lights that brighten when you rev are telling you the battery is not carrying its share of the load.
The battery light stays on
The dash lamp watches the charging circuit, not the battery. On means the alternator, the belt or the battery has stopped playing its part.
Electronics reset themselves
Clock, radio presets and window one-touch resetting after a night parked means the voltage is dropping below the modules' floor.
The case looks swollen
A bulging or split case is heat damage. Stop driving on it - a swollen battery can vent acid.
It is over three years old
Three years is a full life in Dubai Sports City heat. Past that, every hot month is borrowed time.
Start to finish
Eight steps, about twenty minutes, done wherever the car is standing.
Tell us the make, model and roughly where you are. We confirm the fitment and the fitted price before we move.
Nearest van with your battery on board. Typical arrival across Dubai Sports City is 25 minutes.
Conductance test on the old battery plus a charging-system check. You see the reading.
A memory saver keeps the ECU, radio codes and window calibration alive while the old battery is out.
Negative first, then positive, then the hold-down. Terminals cleaned, tray checked for acid damage.
Torqued down, terminals greased, and registered to the car's charging system where the model needs it.
Engine running voltage checked at idle and at load, so you leave knowing the alternator is doing its job.
Card, cash, Tabby or Tamara. The old battery goes with us for recycling and your warranty is logged against the plate.
Getting the fitment right
Four numbers decide it. Get them right and the battery drops in, clamps down and charges the way the manufacturer intended.
The physical box - length, width, height and where the hold-down clamp bites. A DIN 74 will not sit in a JIS NS70 tray.
Reversed posts mean the cables will not reach. This is the single most common wrong-battery mistake.
How long it can run the car's electronics with the engine off. Match or exceed the original - never go below it.
How hard it can turn the engine. In Dubai Sports City the number matters for margin, not for cold: heat robs cranking power too.
Set by the car, not by budget. A start-stop car needs what it was built for.
Pick your make, model and year on this page and we will tell you the exact fitment, the price fitted, and how soon a van can reach you.
Tell them apart
Both faults end with a car that will not start, and swapping the wrong part costs you twice. Two columns, one test each.
Our tester reads both - battery health first, then charging output with the engine running. If the alternator is the fault, we say so and we do not sell you a battery.
Before you risk the drive
You can, briefly, and it is usually a bad idea. Here is what actually happens when you keep driving on one.
A weak battery will often run the engine but not start it again. Every stop becomes a gamble.
The alternator tries to fill a battery that will not hold charge. Alternators cost several times what a battery does.
Low voltage makes ABS, traction control, power steering assist and airbag modules throw faults and disable themselves.
On some cars the engine cuts when the battery can no longer support the ignition load. That is a stall in a live lane.
Undervoltage codes across a dozen modules, which then need clearing - a bill that would not have existed.
If it started this morning and you are minutes from home, drive straight there with the AC and the stereo off. Do not park anywhere you cannot be reached. Then call us: +971 54 309 2254, 24/7, every day.+971 54 309 2254

Straight answers
The questions we are asked on the phone every day, answered the way we answer them there.
About twenty minutes from the moment we park. Testing is a couple of minutes, the swap itself is ten to fifteen, and registering the battery on a start-stop car adds five.
Typically 25 minutes, 24/7, every day. Peak traffic and basement car parks add a little; we give you a real time on the call, not a marketing one.
No. Testing the battery and the charging system is free whether or not it ends in a sale.
Up to 24 months on the battery itself, logged against your plate. If it fails inside the term we come back out and replace it - the warranty covers the visit too.
Yes. We run 24/7, every day, and roughly a third of our calls are between 10pm and 6am.
Yes. Give us the building, the level and the bay. Our vans are height-cleared for standard basements and we bring the stock down by trolley when they are not.
No. We hold power to the car with a memory saver while the battery is out, so the ECU, radio, clock and window calibration all survive the swap.
Always, and its scrap value comes off your bill. It goes to a licensed recycler with a transfer note.
Yes, and we register them to the car where the model requires it. Fitting a standard battery to a start-stop car is the fastest way to kill both the battery and the start-stop function.
All of them. The vans carry DIN, JIS and BCI fitments, which between them cover Japanese, Korean, German, American, Chinese and British cars.
Yes - Tabby and Tamara split the total into four payments at no extra cost, alongside card, cash and Apple Pay.
