How do I know if my car battery needs to be replaced?
There are several signs that your car battery may be on its way out. Common symptoms include slow or delayed engine cranking, dim headlights, warning lights on the dashboard, or electrical systems not functioning properly. In some cases, you might also notice a swollen battery case or a rotten egg smell under the bonnet, which can indicate a leak or internal damage. Most car batteries last around 3 to 5 years, depending on usage and climate. If you’re unsure, a professional battery test can quickly determine whether it’s still holding charge or due for replacement.
What happens during a battery test and replacement service?
A battery test involves checking the voltage, charge level and cold-cranking amps using a diagnostic tool. This helps determine whether the battery is healthy, weak or failing. If a battery replacement is needed, the mechanic will remove the old unit, install a new one suited to your vehicle and ensure all connections are clean and secure. Many services also include testing the alternator to confirm the battery is being properly charged. Old batteries are disposed of safely and in accordance with environmental guidelines.
Can I keep driving with a weak car battery?
You can technically drive with a weak battery, but it increases the risk of getting stranded. A failing battery may start your car one day and not the next, especially during colder weather or after short trips that don’t allow the alternator to fully recharge it. It can also put extra strain on the starter motor and other electrical systems. If your battery is more than a few years old or showing signs of failure, it’s safer to have it tested and replaced sooner rather than later.
