When is it time to replace your car’s battery?

5 Signs You Need a Car Battery Replacement

The life of car batteries average between 3 - 5 years. This estimate does not factor in influences draining your battery and decreasing its lifespan even more. Certain signs reveal your battery reaching the end of its days, details below.

1. The battery is over 3 years old: Once your car battery turns three, it’s time to keep a close eye on it. Since car batteries only last up to five years, after three years of use you need to routinely have it tested to see if it can operate at full capacity. Certain elements reduce a car’s battery life to less than five years:

  • Overcharging
  • Extreme temperatures
  • Long-term battery storage
  • Use of car plug-ins (i.e. phone, iPod, etc)

2. Your car has trouble starting-up: When you’re trying to turn your car on and it’s not starting right away, your battery is near the end of its life. This problem will only get worse with time. If you wait any longer to replace your battery you might wind up walking home.

3. Low battery fluid levels: An effect of overcharging, this happens when the battery fluids are heated up and converted into gas, resulting in fluid loss. This problem takes away from the overall fluid amount charging the battery, leading to a shortened battery life. If you have the following problems, you’re going to want to replace your battery sooner rather than later.

4. Battery looks swollen: Overheating leads to the battery swelling up and looking enlarged. This symptom will reduce the life of your battery and will lead to power failure, quickly.

5. Battery leaks: Causing corrosion, releasing foul odors and increasing the likelihood of your car not starting. If your battery is leaking, it’s time for it to be replaced.
