When to Replace Your Car Battery

In general, you’ll want to replace your battery once every three years as long as nothing extraneous goes wrong. As your battery gets older, it becomes more unreliable, but generally, there is no hard and fast rule on how long a battery can last. However, your battery can be affected by factors such as malfunctions, time, heat, and usage, all of which affect battery performance. Here are some signs that it is getting to that time to replace your battery:

  • A pungent smell
  • A misshapen or bloated battery case
  • A warning light on your dashboard
  • Slow engine crank
  • Dim headlights
  • Issues with electrical systems like windows, wipers, or power seats

Should you notice any of these signs on your vehicle, it means that your battery life is fading. You will want to consult our service center to allow our specialist to inspect and repair your battery so that you can feel safe and secure on Jackson Heights.

Why You Shouldn’t Throw a Dead Car Battery in the Trash

Whether your dead batteries are regular household or lead-acid vehicle batteries, you should never throw them in the trash. Batteries are composed of dangerous chemicals that are extremely poisonous to wildlife and the environment, and the EPA declared lead-acid toxic waste which can lead to an expensive fine.
