It can be difficult to know if the battery in your vehicle needs replacing because you simply don't know the warning signs. It doesn't matter the brand or the strength of the car battery, today we put those little parts to the test. That battery is powering the door locks, radio, GPS system, cell phone charging stations, windshield wipers, and headlights.
Below is a general list of a few signs you should be on the look out for so that you can get the battery replaced before you go to start your vehicle one morning and it fails to do so.
These car battery replacement signs include:
Dim headlights when car is started.
Slow engine cranking over in the morning.
Weak sounding car horn.
Corrosion found on battery terminals.
Strong odor coming from battery.
One or more of these signs could mean that your vehicle’s battery needs attention. You should promptly come see our service center at Hoffman Lincoln Inc. in East Hartford, CT, and one of our technicians can inspect and replace the battery if needed.
