Signs of A Weak Car BatteryII

2019-11-18

Last week, we introduced the 3 signs of the car for a weak battery.

Now, continue the other 4 indications:

 

Low Battery Fluid Level

Car batteries typically have a part of the casing that’s translucent so you can always check your battery’s fluid level. You can also inspect it by removing the red and black caps if they are not sealed. If the fluid level is below the lead plates, it’s time to have the battery and charging system tested.

 

Swelled Battery Case

The battery case can swell when the battery is exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures.  In the winter, the battery may discharge and freeze. This freezing, as well as swelling from excess heat, can cause an “electrically dead” battery. If your battery casing looks like this, it’s time to be replaced.

 

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 Battery

Three years + battery age is considered an old timer. Have its current condition inspected on a yearly basis when it reaches the usage.

 

Don’t ignore it, or you may find yourself in the exact position we described above.
