You don’t want to get stranded in La Jolla due to a failing battery.
Slow Start – Does it take more time than usual for your vehicle to get started? It could be that the battery is beginning to wear down. However, this may not always be the case. A slow start is also a sign of a bad alternator. If the battery is the cause, look for these signs: the vehicle struggling to start in cold temperatures, the car doesn’t make any sounds and the lights inside your car do not turn on, or the car runs following a jump-start.
Jump-Starts are Required Frequently – Your battery may be struggling to hold a charge if you have to jump-start your vehicle on a regular basis. A battery replacement is likely needed.
You Notice Corrosion – A significant amount of blue corrosion or film on the battery case can compromise how well your battery functions. Clean the battery and look for leaks. If you see that the battery is leaking, replace it at your earliest convenience.
The Battery Fluid Level is Low – Battery fluid is a mixture of distilled water and sulfuric acid. It is necessary to generate electricity and run efficiently. If your headlights dim and flicker or the engine won’t turn over, one potential cause is low battery fluid.
The Battery is Old – Car batteries often last about 5 years. If you notice issues with the battery and it is at least this old or even older, it is likely due for replacement.
