Did You Know: The older a car battery is, the more susceptible it is to extreme temperature changes.
How to Spot a Failing Car Battery
It’s a common myth that car batteries always give clear warnings before they fail. While older batteries often showed signs like slow starts, many modern batteries work perfectly until they suddenly don’t. Knowing the early signs of a weakening car battery can help prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Key signs your car battery may need attention or replacement:
- Slow engine starts or clicking sounds when turning the ignition
- Dim headlights or sluggish electronic features (e.g., power windows or locks)
- Visible corrosion or buildup around the battery terminals
- A battery that’s more than 3-5 years old
- Frequent jumpstarts to get your car running
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to have your car battery inspected by a professional.
