How to Tell Your Battery Needs Replacement?


While several parts help start your vehicle—like the alternator and starter—most no-start issues stem from a failing battery. If your engine struggles to turn over, headlights are dim, or you hear clicking noises when turning the key, your battery may be underperforming. If you park your car for extended periods, disconnecting the battery is common to prevent drainage. However, routine battery replacement is recommended every 3 to 5 years, just like oil changes or brake service.

Schedule a Battery Inspection If You Experience:
  • Longer-than-normal start times

  • Check engine light activation

  • Corrosion on battery terminals

  • Swollen or leaking battery case

Can I Recharge My Battery Or Does It Need Replacement?


Recharging a dead battery versus new battery replacement may be possible depending on whether you've left the vehicle sitting for some time or forgot to turn the lights off (older model vehicles of course). A drained battery can sometimes be recharged if still healthy, but once it loses charge capacity, replacement is necessary. Whether you need to replace your car battery or recharge it depends on the battery's condition and the underlying issue causing it to lose charge. If your battery is relatively new and the issue is a result of leaving your lights on or some other temporary drain, you can usually recharge it. A car battery charger can be used to replenish the charge. Whether you need to replace or recharge a depleted battery can be determined by inspecting your charging system. If you experience any of the following symptoms with your battery, schedule a visit to inspect whether your car battery needs a replacement or it can be recharged.
