As a car owner, you need to know how to spot a dead battery. Common signs are:
A slow crank where the engine takes longer to start
Dim headlights that don’t shine as bright or flicker
And sometimes the dashboard lights are dimmer than usual
These symptoms mean the battery isn’t holding a charge like it should. Knowing the difference between a dead vehicle battery and a bad alternator or bad starter is key to fixing the right problem. Knowing these signs will save you time and money and ensure you’re targeting the right problem from the start.
