It's always frustrating when your car won't start, especially when you're in a hurry. If you suspect your battery might be the problem, here are a few telltale signs:
1. The engine cranks slowly or not at all. This is usually the first sign that something is wrong with your battery. If it takes longer than normal for your engine to turn over, it's likely because the battery doesn't have enough power to get it going.
2. The headlights are dim or flickering. If your battery is on its way out, you might notice that your headlights seem dimmer than usual or they flicker and go out completely while you're driving.
3. You have to jumpstart your car frequently. If you find yourself having to jumpstart your car more and more often, it's probably time to replace the battery.
4. Your car stereo is acting up. A dying battery can cause all sorts of electrical problems in your vehicle, including issues with the stereo system. If the sound quality suddenly deteriorates or the stereo starts cutting in and out, it could be a sign that you need a new battery soon
