Your battery is an important component in your vehicle. Not only does it affect all of your vehicle’s electrical capabilities, but it also allows you to start your vehicle. As such, keeping any eye on your car, and making sure it is ready for the road, is important. There are some signs of battery wear that you can keep an eye out for. These symptoms could indicate that your battery needs to be checked out.
So what are some of the symptoms of battery wear that you should keep an eye out for?
- Your Check Engine Light Is On. While this could mean many things, it’s always good to bring your vehicle in. Sometimes, if your battery is nearing the end of its life, it will trip your check engine light.
- Your Engine Doesn’t Start Right Away. If your engine seems to start slowly, it may indicate that your battery is struggling and needs to be replaced.
- You Notice Dim Lights and Electrical Issues. As you might expect, this is a sign that your battery is struggling to deliver the power you need. If you notice your heated seats aren’t working, your dashboard is glitching, or anything else, stop by our service center.
- Your Battery’s Case Is Misshapen. This can happen when your vehicle experiences either extreme heat or extreme cold. If you notice this issue, it’s important to make sure that you get it replaced.
