When Your Battery Needs Replacing

Over time, a vehicle’s battery will deteriorate with age, losing its capacity or becoming unable to hold a charge. When that happens, your car or van will be more difficult to start, or won’t start at all, particularly in cold weather. This is because the battery is too weak to provide sufficient power to turn over the engine. Signs that your battery might need replacing include the engine beginning to turn over more slowly than usual. Perhaps other electrical systems on the car are behaving differently too, like electric windows slowing down when you operate them or lights on the dashboard dimming while the engine is idling. Your headlights may also look dimmer while the car is still, but get brighter as you apply the accelerator. 

Generally speaking, the newer the car, the more drain there is likely to be on its battery because of the increased reliance on computer technology. Your vehicle can be using up energy even when it’s parked and switched off.

Buying a New Battery

Flat batteries are one of the most common reasons for needing to call out a breakdown or road recovery service, which can be expensive as well as inconvenient. So if you think your vehicle’s battery needs replacing, don’t put it off.
