It’s Time for a New Battery :
- Slow Engine Crank: When you attempt to start the vehicle, the cranking of the engine is sluggish and takes longer than normal to start.
- The check engine light sometimes appears when your battery power is weak.

- Low Battery Fluid Level: Car batteries typically have a part of the casing that’s translucent so you can always keep an eye on your battery’s fluid level. If the fluid level is below the lead plates : (energy conductor:) inside, it’s time to have the battery and charging system tested.

- Swelling, Bloating Battery CaseIf your battery casing looks like this you can blame excessive heat for causing your battery case to swell, decreasing your battery life.
- Battery Leak: Leaking also causes corrosion around the posts : (where the + and – cable connections are located.: ) The gunk may need to be removed; otherwise, your car may not start.

- Old Age: Your battery can last well beyond three years but, at the very least, have its current condition inspected on a yearly basis when it reaches the three-year mark.
