Having a dead battery is a highly inconvenient issue for cars. To avoid getting stuck and maintain your vehicle's functionality, it's important to ensure your battery is in top-notch condition. You can either get your battery tested or search for new car batteries at Don Owen Tire in Bloomington, IL.
The primary function of a car battery is to provide the starting system with enough electricity to get your engine started. Additionally, your car battery has to store enough power to power your car's electronics while the engine isn't turned on.
Your battery would usually give your vehicle a slower and slower start before the battery finally dies. There are some warning signs that can indicate your car battery is nearing its end. Signs that you may need battery replacement are:
• The battery light appearing on your dashboard • The engine taking time to turn over or not turning at all • Dashboard lights not turning on • Frequent need for battery jumps • A smell, like rotten eggs, coming from under the hood
• Perform a load test • Test charging system for proper operation • Test alternator and starter • Clean the cables, install anti-corrosion washers • Remove and replace the battery if necessary
• Don't shut off your engine if you don't have to: every time you start your vehicle, it shortens the battery life. • Regularly inspect your battery and remove corrosion: Corrosion on the battery terminals can prevent a proper connection and might affect the ignition process. • Test your battery's voltage: Ensuring your battery is providing the right voltage keeps it protected. • Disconnect accessories that aren't being used: Ensuring your battery isn't drained while the engine is off is essential to prolonging battery failure.
