How to Tell If Your Car Battery is Bad
When you need new brake pads, your brake system lets you know with a high-pitched squealing noise, Unfortunately, when it's time for a new car battery the warning signs aren’t so obvious. Here are a few signs you should look for.
- A Slow Start - If your vehicle suddenly takes a whole lot longer to charge than usual, get your battery tested, it might be time for a new one.
- Working Lights but No Start – If your interior lights and headlights are working but you hear a click and buzz sound when you engage the ignition it’s a sign that your battery isn’t operating properly.
- Dim or Flickering Lights – Your battery is responsible for providing power to the exterior and interior lights and when it doesn’t provide sufficient power they may not function properly.
- Malfunctioning Electric Features – Your infotainment system, power windows, and power liftgate all draw power from the battery when the engine is not on and might stop working when the battery starts to lose its effectiveness
- Battery Age – Unfortunately, car batteries don’t last forever. Most quality batteries last between four to six years. Once your battery reaches the four-year mark you should have a technician check how much charge it has. They may recommend getting a new battery to prevent the inconvenience of discovering a dead battery in the future.
