The best time to replace your car battery is before you need to. But how do you know when it’s time to replace it if it’s not dead yet? There are symptoms that suggest it’s time for a replacement. Learn the signs of a dying car battery, how climate affects it, and when to replace it.

Common indicators of a weak battery include a slow engine crank, illuminated battery light, bloated or misshapen battery case, and leaking battery fluid. If you notice any of these signs, it’s time for a checkup.

Replace your car battery every three years, although climate and driving habits may shorten this lifespan.

Every mile on a dying battery brings you closer to getting stranded. Consider a new battery before it’s too late.
