Did You Know: The older a car battery is, the more susceptible it is to extreme temperature changes.
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
