Why Is It Important to Keep Your Car Battery Healthy?

Your car battery is vital to the life of your vehicle as it serves as the power hub for all things electrical. Since it supplies power to the ignition system, it can undermine your car's ability to start if it's running low. It's risky to drive with a bad battery because it can leave you stuck on the side of the road. Also, your exterior lights may go dim or flicker, making it harder for you to see or be seen in the dark. This can put you at a higher risk of an accident.

Aside from jeopardizing your safety, a weak or malfunctioning battery can also damage other parts of your vehicle. When it detects a lack of electrical power, your car's system will try to find a way to keep the electrical components running. So, it will put extra pressure on the starter and alternator. If you fail to address the problem promptly, these parts may malfunction, leading to a costly repair.

How Often Should You Have Your Battery Checked or Replaced?

According to auto experts, you should have your car battery inspected at least twice a year, preferably just before summer and winter. This is because extremely hot or cold temperatures can cause your battery to drain faster. As for replacing your battery, the recommended interval is every four to five years.

Note that the ideal frequency for battery inspections and replacements may vary depending on a number of factors, such as the type of battery, vehicle make and model, driving habits, and weather conditions. To be safe, it's best that you follow the recommended schedule in your owner's manual.

What Are the Signs Indicating You Need to Replace Your Battery?

Sometimes, your car battery may run out or fail sooner than expected. Fortunately, it isn't difficult to tell when your battery has gone bad. Below are some signs suggesting that your battery may be due for a replacement:

  • Slow-starting engine: When your battery is low or faulty, it may take a longer time to produce the needed power to start your vehicle. If you have to wait a few seconds for your engine to turn over, it's usually an indication that your battery is about to kick the bucket.
  • Illuminated check engine light: In most vehicles, the check engine light can come on for a variety of reasons, one of which is a failing battery. Instead of trying to figure out the problem yourself, it's best to take your car to a service center for a battery inspection.
  • Dim lights and other electrical issues: A weak battery will struggle to run all your vehicle's electrical systems at full power. So, if you notice that the headlights are dimmer or power windows are slower than usual, it can mean that your battery is running out of juice.
  • Corroded connectors: When your battery has corrosion issues, you'll see a white, ashy substance forming on its metal components. If left unattended, corroded terminals may lead to voltage problems and trouble starting your car.
  • Rotten egg smell: A rotten egg smell coming from under the hood is a sign that your battery is leaking gas. This may result from an internal short or damage to the battery.
