  • In this video, I'll explain and discuss the most common symptoms of a dying car battery. Fortunately, batteries die slowly and in majority of situations it gives us some of the following warning signs:
    1) Dashboard warning light illuminated
    2) Slow engine crank
    3) Clicking sound when turning the key
    4) Dim headlights
    5) The battery case is swollen
    6) The battery is just too old
    7) Battery terminals loose over time
    8) You left a light on
    9) Corrosion or film on battery terminals
    And a pro advice about how to avoid thousands of dollars in damage to your car.

    One more symptoms with newer cars is that electrical issues start occurring and intermittently (key fob not working at time, dashboard and radio turning off briefly, radar sensor system shutting off briefly, car even shutting off because battery is not sending signal to ignition).

    My car is starting slower than last year. I'll get it check in May. My father just had his replaced. He leaves everything on. I told him that will suck power from your battery during startup. He learned his lesson to turn everything off before shutting off

      With a push start, it is achieved by engaging the manual transmission (with key in "run" position), the starter isn't involved.

    My car wouldn't start for a while but then I got a jump and it started. Then the next day it wouldn't start. So I unplugged the battery clamps for about a week. Then I connected the clamps back on and my car almost started but couldn't turn over.
    So my question is, would that be a bad battery or a bad alternator?
    Thanks!
