What are the warning signs of a failing car battery?

Slow Engine Start – If your car struggles to start, your battery might be weak.
Warning Light – The battery or charging system warning light could indicate an issue.
Frequent Jump-Starts Needed – If you’re constantly jump-starting, your battery may be at the end of its life.
Dim Headlights or Electrical Issues – Weak battery power can affect lights, radio, and other electronics.
Clicking Noise When Turning the Key – A weak battery might not have enough power to engage the starter motor.

Why would a car battery fail?

Car batteries don’t last forever, but certain factors can cause them to fail sooner than expected. Most batteries have a lifespan of five to seven years, but extreme temperatures, frequent short trips, or a faulty charging system can drain them faster.

One of the most common reasons for battery failure is insufficient charging. If you frequently drive short distances, your battery doesn’t get enough time to fully recharge, leading to gradual power loss. High electrical demand from features like air conditioning, heated seats, and infotainment systems also puts extra strain on the battery.

Cold weather can slow down the chemical reactions inside the battery, making it harder for your engine to start. On the other hand, excessive heat can cause internal fluid to evaporate, leading to a weaker battery over time. Loose or corroded battery terminals can also prevent proper power flow, resulting in inconsistent starts or electrical issues.
