With the cold weather set to begin. This is the best time to have your car battery tested to ensure that you don’t get caught out with a flat battery. The inconvenience of having to wait for the breakdown cover to come out and either give you a jump start or charge you over the top for a new battery at the side of the road.
Here at Autoinspire we can check the condition and charging rate of your battery and normally supply a new car battery replacement at a much cheaper price than you could go and buy one off of the shelf for.
Age of the Battery
If your car battery is older than 3 to 5 years, it’s a good idea to have it tested and consider replacing it, as older batteries are more prone to failure.
Slow Engine Crank
If you notice that the engine is slow to crank when starting the car, it could be a sign that the battery is losing its charge and needs replacement.
Dashboard Warning Light
If the dashboard warning light for the battery illuminates, it indicates a potential issue with the battery or the charging system, and you should have it inspected by a professional.
Electrical Issues
If you experience electrical issues such as dimming headlights, malfunctioning power windows, or a weak sound system, it could be due to a failing battery.
Corrosion
Excessive corrosion around the battery terminals can affect its performance and may indicate the need for a replacement.
Visible Damage
Physical damage to the battery casing or visible signs of leakage are clear indicators that the battery needs to be replaced.
