The battery is one of the most critical parts of your vehicle. It provides the electrical current needed to power the starter, ignition system, and other electrical components. Without a properly functioning battery, your car won't start, so it's important to pay attention to warning signs that your battery may need to be replaced.
Some common signs that it may be time for a new battery include:
- Engine cranks slowly when starting
- Dim headlights, especially when idling
- Battery warning light illuminates on dash
- Battery is more than 3 years old
If you notice any of these symptoms, it's a good idea to have your battery tested by a professional as soon as possible. They can determine if the battery needs to be replaced or if there are other issues with your vehicle's electrical system.
