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.

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.
