How to Check Your Car Battery Voltage

Signs You Need Battery Service

You’ll know your car needs battery service when you start noticing signs like:

• Slow engine crank on startup
• Electric issues like dim headlights or a malfunctioning radio
• A hard-boiled-egg smell coming from under the hood
• A light on your dashboard that looks like a battery

You can also do a visual check, which we recommend doing at least monthly. During this check, you’ll want to look for corrosion buildup or swelling on the battery. If your vehicle is exhibiting any of these signs, drive directly to your nearest certified service center.

How to Protect Your Battery

To be clear, there’s no way to completely prevent your battery from ever needing to be replaced or repaired. Actually, most batteries are designed to last just 3 to 5 years, which is around 45,000 to 75,000 miles. Those miles add up a lot more quickly than you’d think.

However, there are certain things you can do that have shown to extend the lifespan of car batteries. These include:

• Limiting frequent short trips to allow your battery time to charge
• Turning off electric equipment (like interior lights) when not in use
• Storing your car in a cool place like a climate-controlled garage or under a tree

As we mentioned, doing these things won’t extend your car’s battery life forever, but they can help to keep your vehicle’s battery healthier for longer. Another way to protect your battery is to schedule service on a regular basis. The technicians at our dealership can perform battery tests to ensure that everything is in working order.
