There is nothing worse on a busy day full of errands then when a dead car battery. Your car is something that we all depend on to get us around and make sure that all your things that need to get done are completed. When you are without a car you have to ask for rides or just skip a whole day of errands, shopping and appointments. This can really be hard on a family and a person and that is why knowing more about what to look for when a battery is dying is a good idea. The battery of a car is needed when you want to start the car and turn the engine over. Then the alternator will continue to charge the battery so that it is ready to use the next time you need to start the car. There are signs that often occur when the battery is about to stop working.
Citywide Towing Service Lists Signs of a Bad Car Battery
Car Takes Longer to Start when Cold: If you go out to your car and start it you insert the key and rotate it to start the engine. This usually only takes a second for the ignition to occur. When you start to notice that the car is taking longer than normal to turn over then it could be a problem with your battery. Often times the battery does not have time or ability to recharge when you are driving it. That means when you go and try to start the car there is not enough to get the engine to turn over. That is why you may start to notice that the car starts slower than it normally would. This might be a good time to have your battery tested.
Car Battery Light On: There seems to be a light letting you know that there are a plethora of problems with your car. The warning lights will show up on your cars dashboard and that is a sign that you need to have your car looked at. There are some lights that will show up when the battery is having trouble. The light can look like a battery and if it shows up you want to drive to the location that is best for you before you turn the vehicle off. This will ensure that you are not stranded on the side of the road. Once you have a location that is safe to start you can have your battery replaced.
Corrosion on Car Battery: When you pop the hood on a car you can check for signs that the battery is in bad shape. The battery should have clean and clear connections so that there is the right amount of exposure. When you see that the cables or the posts have corrosion built up then you need to have them cleaned. This also might mean that the battery is not in good condition and that it needs to be replaced.
