Dead or Weakened Battery Warning Signs
A common misconception about modern car batteries is that they’ll give you plenty of warning before they give out. While it is true that vehicles used to start slower and slower before a battery finally died, most modern batteries have evolved to work at full capacity until they just can’t anymore.
Though it’s nice that batteries today function longer than they used to, you have to look for smaller signs that it may be on the fritz.
Common ways to tell that your battery is about to go out include:
- Diminished electric functions (slower power windows, dimmed headlights, etc.)
- Slower engine crank
- Clicking noise when turning the key
- Old age
- Corroded terminals
Because modern batteries give fewer overt warnings, it is crucial to pay attention to these subtle signs and act on them quickly. Ignoring these small indicators can lead to a sudden, unexpected failure, leaving you stranded and facing inconvenient delays. A professional battery test can confirm the health of your battery before it’s too late.

FAQs
-
Q. "How long can a car sit before the battery dies?"The battery in your car can die within as little as two weeks when unused. While our cars are more technologically advanced than ever, this comes at a cost. Due to the various gadgets and computer technology manufacturers include in our vehicles, the newest models coming off the line are always on, continually monitoring the car’s systems around the clock.
-
Q. "Does the temperature affect my vehicle's battery?"Hot and cold temperatures can ruin your battery, especially if it’s already weak. Most customers in warm, southern climates don’t realize that hot weather drains their batteries. On the other hand, cold temperatures slow down chemical reactions, which means that your car battery will become sluggish and appear to be far lower than it actually is. Most modern batteries are designed to deliver an abundance of power at what is considered a “cold crank” temperature, but older batteries or batteries which are further into their lifespan may even fail to start your car on a particularly frigid and frosty morning.
-
