How to Tell If You Need a New Battery

Batteries don’t last forever, especially when they’re dealing with Massachusetts weather. Our cold winters and hot summers can really take a toll. Here are some signs it might be time for a new battery:

• Corrosion on Battery Terminals: If you see white stuff or greenish goo around the battery terminals, it could mean there’s a leak or the battery is on its way out.
• Rotten Egg Smell: If your car smells like rotten eggs, that’s bad news. It means the battery might be leaking, and it’s time for a replacement.
• Dim Headlights: If your headlights are flickering or not shining as bright, your battery could be losing power.
• Ticking Noise: A weird clicking sound when you start your car is usually a sign the battery isn’t sending enough juice to get it going.
• Car Won’t Start: If you try to start your car and nothing happens, your battery’s probably dead.
• Electrical Problems: Things like your lights, radio, or power windows not working could point to a weak battery.
• Slow Engine Cranking: If your car takes forever to start, your battery might be on its last legs.
• No Interior Lights: If you try to start your car and the interior lights don’t turn on, that’s usually a sign of a battery issue.
• Cold Weather Starting Problems: Massachusetts winters can be brutal on your battery. If it’s especially hard to start your car when it’s cold, your battery might not be up for the job anymore.

How Long Do Car Batteries Last?

Most car batteries last around 3-4 years, but if you’re in Massachusetts, that number could be a little lower. The extreme cold we get here can really shorten battery life. Factors like how often you drive and the condition of your car also play a part. So, it’s smart to keep an eye on your battery, especially when the temperatures drop.
