Your car is one of your most important tools. It's important to keep it in good running shape. All cars have a battery that they can't do without. No battery means no power. And no power? Good luck starting your car without that.
Batteries, unfortunately, also stop working after awhile. While they can keep running for years without issue, it's important to know the signs when your battery starts to go bad.
Here are a few:
- The engine's slow to turn over when you try to start it.
- The horn sound is not as loud as before.
- The headlights are also dimmer than they used to be.
- The battery case is swollen and emitting a foul smell.
