Signs Your Battery Needs Service

Most car batteries have a life of three to five years, but the longevity of a battery depends on the environment and driving style. The more you know about battery care, the easier it will be to get your vehicle a replacement battery when the time comes. Here are a few common indications that your new car or SUV needs battery service.

• It Struggles to Turn Over: The battery is an essential part of the ignition system. If the vehicle is struggling to turn over, or you only hear a clicking sound, that means the battery is low or dead.
• The Accessories Are Dim: The battery runs the interior accessories, like the lights and entertainment systems. If the lights appear dim or the sound is low or unresponsive, it’s likely due to a worn battery.
• You Smell Sulfur: The smell of sulfur, or rotten eggs, is a clear indication that your battery needs to be replaced. It means your battery is leaking acid, which makes for unsafe driving conditions. It can also corrode other parts and systems, so it should be addressed right away.
• There is Visible Corrosion: If a battery is leaking or damaged, you’ll likely be able to see it at a glance. Look for signs of battery acid and corrosion or a swollen battery case, and always take safety precautions when inspecting.
