Don’t get stranded in the middle of winter with a dead battery! That can be a major inconvenience, disrupting your day or your week. Did you know a regular car battery health check can prevent this frustrating situation? Here's a guide to help you assess your battery's condition:
If you think your battery is beginning to fail, ask yourself the following questions:
- Does your engine turn over slowly when you start the car?
- Are your headlights dim?
- Do you notice your interior lights dimming?
- Is your car making a clicking noise when you try to start the car?
- Does your battery need to be recharged often?
- Is your battery old? Most car batteries only last 3-5 years, so if your car battery is getting up in age, it may be time to replace it.
Deeper Battery Testing
For an accurate assessment of your vehicle’s battery health, consider these options:
- Load test: This measures the battery's performance under load. A load tester simulates the current draw of a starter motor.
- Conductance test: This advanced test measures the battery's internal resistance, providing insights into its overall health.
