Signs that your car battery might need to be checked out.
Your battery is the only one in charge to start the car. A lot of power is used when you start your car, but once it started, the car the alternator steps in and does the rest, helping the battery going.
You may notice that the battery cranks slower if your car battery slowly hits the end. Pay attention and pick up the warning signs, because you are not given too many chances before your engine will refuse to crank again. In this case, you will hear a rapid sound that suggests that your battery is too weak to crank the engine.

We all like cars with as many options as possible, but let’s not forget that all these extra options like the power window, seats, radio, windshield wipers, dashboard lights, headlights, seat heater, your phone charger, and many more are using the battery. If you notice any issue with the proper functioning of any of this components, it’s time for a checkup
Most vehicles have on their dashboard a light in shape of the battery. If this turns on it may indicate that your battery is not being replenished at the maximum capacity. There may be some internal problems with your battery or even problems with the alternator.
Like in the case of the check engine light turning on, a lot of places offer battery and system check services for free. When your battery light turns on please go have your electrical system inspected.

Sometimes the worst can happen and your battery case may swell or bulge. This happens because of the extensive amount of heat or cold your battery is exposed to. Be very careful with vehicles that you prefer not to drive in the winter. If your vehicle is not driven for a longer period of time and it freezes from multiple low-temperature days, it will discharge and freeze. Freezing will result in an electric dead battery that cannot be recovered and you will need to replace it.
The same thing happens if you decide not to use your vehicle for a longer period of time in the summer. High temperatures can determine chemical reaction in your battery that will lead to swelling of the outside box. This can also result in a dead battery that can only be replaced and not recovered.

The average life of a battery is around 4-5 years. The proper function is influenced by exposure to extreme temperatures, the number of discharges and many other factors.
We recommend that once your battery hits 3-4 years old mark, you should have it tested. This is to avoid calling a roadside service nearby you to jump start your car, when the unfortunate event of your car not starting will happen.
If you are not sure about the age of your battery, you can check the manufacturer's date on the case

This is my favorite one because you can’t miss this one. If you smell rotten eggs under your hood, it’s time to inspect the battery with a professional service provider that knows what he’s doing.. This is a sign that your battery was frozen, overcharged or internally shorted.
This smell is a big warning sign. The sulfuric acid from your battery eats away other engine parts and cause corrosion so the best is to avoid it.
