Five Signs Your Car Battery Is Dead (or About To Die)
http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/af293/ronnyboyfu/Bosch%20Batteries_zpsvlg3gudr.jpg
Your vehicle’s battery is like its heart; without that battery, your vehicle wouldn't have the power to start moving or do anything else. So it's important to understand at least a little bit about your battery, and to know the most common signs of a battery that needs to be replaced.
About Your Battery
The typical battery, in vehicles made in 1952 and later, is a “wet-cell” battery, a plastic cube containing sulfuric acid and lead, with two terminals coming out of the top or the side. This short guide should be reliable unless you have an aftermarket battery with special needs, such as a dry cell battery, or a hybrid like a Prius.
Here’s some general wisdom about your average battery.
- Batteries normally have a maximum life expectancy of two or three years, even if manufacturers say they will last five years or more. If anyone sells you a “super long life” battery, keep your receipt and get a warranty. Especially if you use your battery for a lot of accessories (things other than starting your car) it’s unlikely to last as long as promised.
- Optimally, you should replace your battery every two and a half years or so—before you have problems.
- Your battery needs some particular help doing its job starting your car: it needs help from your alternator, your starter, the solenoid, the battery terminals (which need to be clean and free from corrosion), and its own cables (which need to be intact). Though as I argue below, the problem is very often just an old battery, I’ll admit it can be something else.
- An old battery, even if it doesn't show any obvious signs of being old, can affect your vehicle in negative ways that will slowly add up to a big repair bill. That’s why I recommend replacing your battery before you have problems with it.
- Your ordinary battery doesn't do so well in extremely cold weather, which may be why you have to pump the gas, or turn the key back to prime the fuel pump, or do a little dance to get the truck or car started on chilly mornings.
Sign 1: Engine Cranks But Doesn’t Start
Sign 2: No Crank, No Start, No Lights
Sign 3: One Day It Starts Fine, the Next Day It Won't
Sign 4: Cold Cranking Is Hard Work
Sign 5: You've Jumped It a Lot
