The average vehicle battery has a life expectancy of three to four years. Key factors that affect performance include age, vibration, poor maintenance, and extreme temperatures.
Warning Signs of a Failing Battery
- Slow engine crank: If the engine turns over slowly when you start it, the battery may be losing charge capacity.
- Clicking sounds: Clicking when you turn the key is a classic sign of insufficient power from the battery.
- Dim interior lights: If your dome light or dashboard lights appear dimmer than usual, the battery could be at fault.
- Swollen battery case: Extreme heat can cause the battery case to swell, shortening its life significantly.
- Old age: If your battery is three or more years old, it is wise to have it tested regularly.
