Let us help you understand a little bit more about car batteries and the signs that it might be time for a car battery replacement. That little black box under the hood is like the heart of your car--if it is starting to wear out, your vehicle doesn't have the power to start, move, or do anything else. Most vehicles use a “wet-cell” battery, i.e., a plastic cube containing sulfuric acid and lead, with two terminals coming out of the top or the side.

Are you asking, “When should I replace my car battery?” Here are the three big signs that are very obvious to drivers:

  1. The engine won’t start even though you hear it cranking.
  2. You turn the key in the starter but nothing happens.
  3. Your vehicle may start randomly one day and not the next.

There are several issues to check out if you are having starting problems.

  1. Your battery terminals are loose, broken, corroded, or calcified,
  2. The fluid level in the terminals may be too low,
  3. The battery cables are loose or corroded
  4. You have a parasitic electrical current drawing power from the battery even when the key is out of the ignition,
  5. The starter is going bad,
  6. The alternator is going bad.

If you are starting to wonder if it’s time for a car battery replacement, contact our ASE Certified Technicians at Cannon Auto Repair for more information about a car battery replacement and to schedule an appointment. Our auto shop serves vehicle owners in Cannon Falls, MN, and the surrounding areas.
