Your vehicle’s battery provides it with life, so to ensure everything runs smoothly and you don’t get stranded it is important to monitor your battery health. Besides getting your battery replaced every four to five years, it is also important to be mindful and look out for signs of a deteriorating battery. Look out for the following signs of car battery failure so you can be proactive in scheduling Land Rover battery service at Land Rover Asheville.
Your Battery Warning Light Is On
If your “Battery Warning Light” is on, it means something is amiss under the hood. When your vehicle starts experiencing power problems, you might see a small battery icon pop up on your instrument panel.
Ignition Clicking and Slow Starts
If your Land Rover seems to be taking longer than usual to start or you hear a repetitive clicking noise when you turn the keys, a deteriorating battery could be the culprit. These issues signify that there is not enough power flowing to get things going.
Electrical Problems
Dim headlights, wipers, window controls, and your radio may all start acting up or performing at the bare minimum if your battery is on its last legs.
Corrosion On the Terminals
If you visibly see blue and green corrosion around your battery, it’s time to replace it. When this happens, you’ll probably notice a foul sulfuric smell from under the hood.
Extreme Weather
Extremely cold weather can stress your battery's performance and shorten its life. Both extreme heat and cold can also warp your battery, causing it to leak. Replace this battery before a hazard can occur.
