Battery testing and replacement in South Africa
Battery replacement near me: 164 auto electricians across South Africa list this work. A battery that keeps going flat is not always a bad battery. An auto electrician load-tests it, checks what the alternator puts back, and measures the current drawn with the car switched off. That last test finds the boot light, the aftermarket alarm or the radio that drains a good battery overnight. A new battery would only hide that fault.

Battery testing and replacement questions
Why does my new battery keep going flat?
Either it is not being charged (an alternator fault) or something is drawing current while the car is off. A parasitic drain test measures that current and traces the circuit it comes from, one fuse at a time.
How is an auto electrician's work usually priced?
Most workshops charge for fault finding first, then labour and parts once they know what is wrong. Mobile auto electricians usually add a call-out fee. Ask for the diagnosis before agreeing to the repair, and ask whether a unit is being repaired or replaced, because the price gap between the two is large.
Are the auto electricians listed here vetted?
No. Every listing comes from a public Google Business Profile. We order them by review count and rating, and flag the ones whose reviews mention this specific work, but we do not inspect workmanship, equipment or insurance.
