Don’t wait until the car won’t start. Here are some red flags that your battery is getting cranky:
It’s taking your car longer to start. The engine cranks longer, and the ignition isn’t turning over as quickly as it has recently. This is an indication that the battery’s charge is weak.
The interior lights aren’t as bright as they used to be.
Some cars have a dashboard light (that looks like a battery) that will illuminate when the battery charge is low or has low battery fluid.
Look out for damage like cracks or corrosion on the battery.
You may notice a pungent smell like sulfur.
These are signs that it’s time for a battery inspection at T.O. Haas today! Schedule an appointment online here.
