We are often faced with the unfortunate car breakdowns that derail all the fun activities we had planned. It can be frustrating, but luckily enough for you, you can avoid all of that by ensuring proper service care for your car battery. Having an efficient battery is essential in keeping your vehicle running smoothly on the road.
There are apparent signs that warrant car battery service, such as when your car is having trouble starting; this is the most basic way to know a failing battery. During ignition, the battery is responsible for starting the engine. If the battery is faulty and running out of water, your car engine cranks very slowly than usual. In worse cases, the engine may not crank at all, and the car will instead make a clicking sound when you turn the ignition key. This is an indication that your battery is too low on power or is dead.
When you check the dashboard and notice the battery light is on, it could indicate that your battery is low on power and cannot charge from the alternator, or there is a faulty cell causing a voltage drop. If you notice your engine light comes on, best come down to Collins, MS and have your vehicle inspected by our experts.
If your car has an abnormal activity of perhaps starting fine one day and barely starting the next, the most probable culprit could be your battery’s loose or frayed cables that are causing the erratic start-up. Additionally, suppose your vehicle seems okay when consistently driving it but fails to start after a day off. In that case, the occurrence may be caused by a parasitic draw, meaning your battery is draining excess power because of another component.
