Warning Signs that a Battery is Dead or Dying

Poor battery performance can’t stay a secret for long because it is an essential performance and reliability component for your vehicle. A dying automotive battery will only get worse over time until it won’t hold any charge at all. Although a dead battery is relatively easy to diagnose because the ignition will only click when trying to start the engine, a dying battery’s symptoms can be more challenging to detect. Here are the most common warning signs associated with a dead or dying battery:

• Engine won’t start (ignition clicks)
• Sluggish or difficult engine starting (sometimes requires fuel pedal pressing)
• Engine backfires
• Problems with electrical accessories such as dim headlights
• Bloated or disfigured battery casing
• Dimmed Headlights
• Battery warning light is on

Ohio’s Climate is the #1 Threat to Your Vehicle’s Battery

The automotive battery is at the pinnacle of modern electrical storage performance; however, even the best ACDelco Battery has a limited life just like every other battery. Although ACDelco manufactures some of the best auto batteries on the market today, we haven’t figured out how to make them last forever. What we do know is that our environmental factors are the #1 threat to all auto batteries; extreme temperatures and significant temperature change throughout the year wreak havoc on automotive batteries. In short, Ohio’s climate is the #1 offender when it comes to your vehicle’s battery. Most batteries will last for two years or more under optimal conditions; however, we routinely have customers get a Battery Replacement Service every spring so that they can have peace of mind knowing that their battery will be in peak performance for another year. The cost of Battery Replacement Service is negligible compared to the peace-of-mind benefit provided by a new battery operating at peak performance with maximum reliability.
