The life expectancy for your car battery is typically a few years. However, several factors will determine this, for example, weather conditions, vehicle type, and driving habits. Keep an eye out for these warning signs which indicate that your battery needs replacing:
- The battery light comes on
- You hear a grinding or clicking sound when you turn the ignition
- The engine does not swing at all when you turn the ignition
- Your vehicle cranks slowly when attempting to start
- Your headlights dim when idling but brighten when you rev your engine
- Your battery loses charge quickly
