Symptoms of a Bad Battery
Slow engine crank
If your car takes noticeably longer to crank when starting, it could indicate a weak battery.
Dimming lights
When idling, if your headlights noticeably dim, this can be a sign of battery issues.
Clicking sounds
Hearing clicking noises when attempting to start the car is often a sign of a failing battery.
Corrosion on terminals
Visible build-up of white or green corrosion around the battery terminals indicates potential problems.
Swollen battery case
A bulging, misshapen battery case is a serious sign that needs immediate attention.
Old age
Even if your battery isn't showing symptoms, if it's more than 3-4 years old, it's a good idea to have it checked and potentially replaced. ​
