When should you need a new car battery?

Signs That You May Need a New Battery:

Trouble starting your car: If your car cranks slowly or struggles to turn over, it could indicate a weak battery.

Dim headlights: If your headlights appear dimmer than usual, it could be a sign of a weak battery.

Electrical problems: If you experience other electrical problems, such as flickering lights or intermittent power loss, it could be a sign of a weak battery.

Battery age: The average lifespan of a car battery is 3-5 years. If your battery is older than 5 years, it's a good idea to have it tested or replaced.

Extreme weather conditions: Extreme heat or cold can shorten the lifespan of a car battery. If you live in an area with extreme temperatures, it's a good idea to have your battery tested more frequently.

Car accessories: If you have added a lot of accessories to your car, such as a stereo, GPS, or phone charger, they can draw power from the battery and reduce its lifespan.

Corrosion: If you see corrosion on the battery terminals, it's a good idea to have the battery cleaned and inspected.
