Jumping a dead battery at the last minute can be a serious hassle, so it’s important to keep an eye out for signs that it’s starting to fail ahead of time. Ultimately, old batteries will eventually have to be swapped out, and our parts department has plenty of auto batteries for sale. However, until then, here are the signs to know when your car battery is dying.
Electrical Issues
Whenever you start your car, the battery powers a variety of utilities such as your windshield wipers, headlights, and radio. When you notice that these devices start to flicker or fail to start, it’s a clear sign that your battery is losing charge. This will be especially noticeable in old batteries. When your battery exceeds the four-to-six-year mark, it’s time to consider a replacement.
A Dragging Start
If your car begins to start slowly, you’ll want the battery to be checked. That’s because a slow-starting battery may seem to take a charge fine, but it can have a hidden drain that will cause serious issues. As the battery continues to degrade, the car eventually won’t start at all.
