What Causes Battery Failure

The last thing you want to happen is to get stranded somewhere because your battery will not start. If you are lucky, you will be at home in a place where you are safe and not exposed to the temperatures. If you are not lucky, you might get stranded in a dark parking lot in the middle of winter. To prevent this, you should have your battery tested and inspected every six months or so. The average battery lasts between four to five years.

Extreme heat and cold can have a negative impact on your battery. The acid in your battery evaporates in the heat which decreases the amount the battery charges and power it produces. The battery in your car has to work harder in the cold. It slows the reaction time in your battery and it can lose voltage.

The Risks in Delaying an Inspection

If you do not have your battery tested and inspected, it can die on you suddenly, leaving you stranded. You may have to have your car towed, or jumped to give it enough power to get it to a service center. Your battery does give you signs that it is dying and may need replacement. You should have your battery checked if your headlights begin to dim. When the battery starts to fail, it cannot provide enough power to the components that need electricity.

Your engine may sound sluggish when you are turning the key in the ignition. Your check engine light may come on when your battery does not have enough power. If you notice your battery is leaking, or there is corrosion around the posts, it may be time to change the battery.
