How to Tell When Your Chevrolet Needs a New Car Battery
Many parts of your car depend on a reliable flow of electricity from the battery. This is especially the case when the engine's turned off and the alternator isn't delivering any voltage. There are a few key signs that a car battery is starting to die. If you notice the following electrical issues, head to your local Chevy dealership for a new car battery before your failing battery brings your car to a grinding halt. How To Tell When Your Chevrolet Needs a New Car Battery Your Headlights Are Less Bright The headlights are often the canary in the coal mine when it comes to the health of a car battery. If your headlights are fading or issuing light in an erratic or flickering manner, it's quite likely that your car battery is about to fail. more Your Electronics Are Faltering A bad battery will no longer be able to hold a full charge or deliver sufficient voltage to your car's electrical components. When the engine's turned off, you can try using your stereo, phone charger, heated seats, infotainment system, and other electronics all at once. A healthy battery should have no problem powering them all, but a dying battery will struggle and some of your electronics will malfunction. Your Engine Refuses To Turn Over Most drivers have experienced the frustration of activating the starter and hearing only strained noises and clicking. An engine refusing to start may mean that your battery either failed to recharge or drained overnight. It might also mean that your battery has finally given up the ghost, and you'll need to install a new one. Your Battery Struggles in Cold Weather Freezing temperatures slow the chemical reaction inside car batteries and can even freeze an internal water component. Because of this, even brand-new batteries can struggle during winter. If your battery has become particularly weak due to the cold, it might be about to fail altogether. Your Battery Looks Damaged or Corroded Cold temperatures, excessive vibrations, corrosion, and other factors can all gradually destroy a car battery. Serious damage will eventually become visible from the outside; if your battery looks bloated, misshapen, or corroded, you'll probably need to have it replaced. Your Battery Starts Leaking Battery Acid A malfunctioning car battery can occasionally crack open, leaking battery acid and gas. This usually creates a very noticeable and unpleasant rotten egg smell. If you think your battery's leaking, get rid of it before the battery acid causes harm to other parts of your car. How Often To Visit Your Chevy Dealership for a New Battery Most car batteries last from three to four years before they need to be replaced. Therefore, once your battery is three years old, keep a closer eye on it, and when it passes four or five years of age, consider getting a new one. Visit Coughlin Chevrolet Buick GMC Newark in Newark, OH to have a new battery installed today. At our full-service dealership, we offer a terrific range of new and pre-owned cars along with top-notch vehicle maintenance and customer care.
