Did You Know: The older a car battery is, the more susceptible it is to extreme temperature changes.
Detecting the Signs of a Failing Car Battery
Contrary to popular belief, car batteries don't always provide clear warnings before they fail. While older vehicles may have exhibited slow starts as a precursor, today’s car batteries often operate flawlessly until they suddenly stop working. Despite their longer longevity, identifying subtle hints that your car battery needs servicing is crucial.
Key signs you might need a new vehicle battery include:
- Decreased electrical functionality (e.g., slow power windows, dim headlights)
- Delayed engine start
- Clicking sound when starting
- Battery's age
- Corrosion on battery terminals

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.
