Dead or Weakened Battery Warning Signs
Indicators of a Draining Car Battery
Contrary to popular belief, a car battery doesn't always give evident warnings before failing. Although older models of vehicles might have signaled slower start-ups, modern car batteries tend to work effectively right until they don't. Despite the improved longevity of today’s car batteries, it’s crucial to be aware of the subtle signs suggesting your battery requires attention.
Crucial signs that your car battery needs to be replaced include:
- Reduced electrical performance (e.g., slow power windows, dim headlights)
- Sluggish engine start
- Clicking noises when starting the ignition
- Battery age
- Corroded 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.
-
Q. "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.
