Your car battery is the heart of your vehicle’s electrical system. It powers essential components such as the lights, radio, and dashboard features; most importantly, it provides the surge of energy that you need to start your engine. Without a properly functioning battery, your car wouldn't even roll out of the driveway. While auto batteries typically last for 3-5 years, vehicles in cold climates can see fluctuations depending on the weather conditions and individual driving habits. Here in the Western New York area, it’s particularly important to be vigilant about your car battery’s health. At Premier Car Care, we recommend regular inspections to make sure that your battery is in top condition.

Dim Headlights

If your headlights are not as bright as they once were, your battery may not be charged enough. Take your car for a drive and allow your alternator to run and charge the battery. If the problem persists, you may have a bad battery.

Trouble Starting Your Engine

If your car cranks for a long time before actually starting, your battery may not be able to keep the same amount of charge as it previously did. Getting your battery professionally tested is a good way to see if it is indeed time to replace it. 

It Has Been Jumped Many Times

Have you needed your car jumped several times? Batteries may need to be jumped for several reasons including things like leaving the lights on, you do not drive your car regularly, or there is a problem with your starter. However, if you use your car often and you did not leave the lights on and still needed your car jumped frequently, it may be time to replace your car battery.

A Lot of Corrosion Around Battery and Terminals

Corrosion around the battery and the terminals is a normal occurrence. It is a result of the outside elements your battery is often exposed to. Sometimes, you may simply need to clean the terminals with a reliable cat rust cleaner to prevent the expansion of the corrosion to other parts. If you notice that the corrosion is building up quickly, the battery may need to be replaced. You may also notice the area around the battery to be wet from a leaking battery.
