Did You Know: The older a car battery is, the more susceptible it is to extreme temperature changes.
Signs Your Car Battery Needs Replacement
Your car battery is vital for reliable vehicle performance, but over time, it naturally loses its charge. Recognizing the early signs of battery failure can prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.
Look out for these signs:
- Slow Engine Crank: If your car is slow to start, especially in cold weather, it could mean your battery is weakening.
- Dashboard Warning Light: A battery warning light on your dashboard indicates charging issues and needs attention.
- Dimming Lights: Flickering or dim headlights and interior lights could signal that your battery is losing its charge.
- Corrosion at Terminals: White, ashy buildup around the battery terminals affects its ability to charge and should be checked.
- Old Battery: If your battery is 3-5 years old, it's time for a check-up, even if no symptoms are present.
- Frequent Jump Starts: Requiring regular jump-starts is a strong indication that the battery is no longer retaining a charge.
If you notice any of these signs, don't wait. Schedule a battery inspection today and keep your car running smoothly!
