Signs You Need a New Car Battery
There are several signs that you may need a new battery. For example, you may notice that the engine cranks slowly when you try to start the car. Or, your headlights may be dimmer than usual. You may hear a clicking sound after starting the vehicle, which could potentially indicate a bad starter or alternator issue, instead of the battery failing.
Another sign of a failing battery is that your car's electrical components, such as the radio and power windows, may not work as well as they once did. If you notice any of these signs, having your battery tested by a mechanic is a good idea. If you haven't driven your vehicle in some time and notice that your battery case is swollen or there's a foul smell, have this looked at immediately in case of a leak.
Replacing your battery should be done every 3-5 years as a part of regular car maintenance. There are a number of factors that can cause a battery to fail, including extreme temperatures, and driving usage patterns. If you typically drive short distances, which doesn't allow the battery to full charge, or your car is parked for extended periods of time, you may experience a shorter battery life.
Frequently Asked Car Battery Questions
How do I know when my car needs a new battery?
There are a few signs that your car battery needs to be replaced. If your engine is slow to start, it is likely that your battery is on its last leg. You may also notice that your battery light comes on on your car's dash. If your battery case is misshaped, that is also a sign that your battery needs to be replaced.
While your car is in for service, your Roda technician will check your battery life so that you know when your battery is nearing end of life.
How often does a car battery need to be replaced?
In general car batteries need to be replaced about every 3 years, but climate and driving habits can cause a battery to die even before the three year mark. If you live in a very hot or very cold climate, your battery performance will be affected. When replacing your battery, ensure that you purchase a battery made for the climate you live in.
If you don't drive frequently, your battery can drain as it sits in the garage or driveway. Additionally, if you typically only take short trips in your car, your battery won't fully charge which can lead to decreased performance.
I recently had the pleasure of using this tire plug service for my Tesla Model Y, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Not only were they incredibly prompt in responding to my request, but the technician who arrived was exceptionally friendly and professional. The technician quickly assessed the situation, explained the repair process, and efficiently plugged the tire, ensuring that my Tesla's tire was good as new. They even took the time to provide some valuable tips on tire maintenance.
