There are several signs that indicate your car may need a new battery:
Difficulty Starting: If your vehicle struggles to start or requires multiple attempts before the engine turns over, it may be a sign of a weak battery.
Dimming Lights: Dimming headlights, interior lights, or dashboard lights while driving can suggest a battery that is losing its charge.
Electrical Issues: Malfunctioning electrical components such as power windows, radio, or infotainment system could be a result of a weak battery.
Swollen Battery Case: A visibly swollen or bloated battery case indicates internal damage and the need for a replacement.
Old Age: If your battery is more than three to five years old, it is more likely to experience diminished performance and may require replacement.
Corrosion: Excessive corrosion or a buildup of white, powdery substance around the battery terminals can hinder proper electrical contact.
Warning Light: The battery warning light on your dashboard illuminating is a clear indication of potential battery issues.
If you notice any of the above warning signs, we recommend booking a mobile battery fitting as soon as possible and to avoid driving your car as much as possible until the work can be completed.
