Did You Know: The older a car battery is, the more susceptible it is to extreme temperature changes.
Signs Your Car Battery Might Be Failing
It’s a common misconception that your car battery will always give clear warnings before failure. While older batteries might have offered hints like slow engine starts, many modern batteries function perfectly until they suddenly stop. That’s why recognizing the early signs of a weakening car battery is essential to avoid being caught off guard.
Here are key signs your car battery might need attention or replacement:
- Sluggish engine starts or clicking sounds when turning the ignition
- Dim headlights or slow electronic functions (e.g., power windows or locks)
- Corrosion or buildup around the battery terminals
- A battery older than 3-5 years
- Frequent jumpstarts needed to get your car running
If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to have your vehicle 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.

"Why do car batteries fail?"The answer to this popular question includes many different reasons, ranging from age, corrosion, alternator problems, extreme weather conditions, or the classic case of headlights being left on.
