Did You Know: The older a car battery is, the more susceptible it is to extreme temperature changes.
Signs You Might Need Battery Replacement
Car batteries typically need replacement every 3 to 5 years.
However, several signs indicate it's time for your battery check-up:
- Slow Engine Crank: If your engine takes longer to start than usual, it might be a sign of a weakening battery.
- Dashboard Warning Light: A lit battery symbol on your dashboard is an urgent signal that your battery requires immediate attention.
- Electrical Issues: Experiencing dim headlights or malfunctioning electronic systems can indicate battery problems.
Recognizing these signs early can prevent more serious damage, saving you time and money. At Christian Brothers Automotive Inver Grove Heights, our friendly staff is ready to help diagnose and address any battery concerns you may have.
Additionally, it's important to recognize that environmentally conscious disposal of old batteries is critical. Improper disposal can harm the environment due to the toxic substances they contain.
