Signs of battery failure
Unfortunately, many battery failures come without a great deal of warning. However, in some cases, you may experience a slow crank or no-crank condition when starting your car. Your vehicle may require a jumpstart, or some components in your car (like your headlights or stereo) may not work properly. Another symptom to watch out for is corrosion on the battery terminals, which is usually a white or greenish buildup.
If your vehicle is displaying any of the signs above, your battery needs to be tested. Also if your vehicle’s battery is dead, or will no longer hold a charge, we can quickly and affordably replace it, and we’ll take care of recycling it, too.
Your questions, answered
Can my existing battery be serviced instead of replacing it?
Most modern batteries are not serviceable, meaning they are not meant to be opened and filled like the batteries of the past. In fact, lead-acid batteries contain hazardous acids which can burn the skin when contacted.
Why does my battery in my vehicle keep dying?
Having a dead car battery is always frustrating. Having a series of dead batteries is a clear sign that there’s a deeper issue. Some possible reasons for dead battery include a faulty charging system (alternator) or extremes in hot and cold temperatures. Taking your vehicle for frequent short drives can also cause the battery life to diminish considerably.
What is the average life of a car battery?
On average, a vehicle battery will last you anywhere from four to six years. There are several factors that can impact your battery’s lifespan, including the type of vehicle, the weather conditions, and your own driving habits. If your battery goes bad or starts giving you trouble, book an appointment to have it replaced.
What does it mean when you start your vehicle and it clicks?
If you try to start your engine and you hear a series of rapid clicks, that typically means that the battery is either dead or close to it. If you hear one loud click, that’s more likely the cause of a bad starter. In either case, it’s wise to book a service appointment with to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
Is my battery dead if the lights turn on?
If your lights are turning on, then your car battery probably isn’t dead—but it may be on its way out. If those lights are dimmer than usual, that’s a telltale sign of pending battery failure. And of course, difficulty getting the vehicle to crank or to start points to a looming battery failure, regardless of whether or not the lights still come on
