Keep an eye on these warning signs that you need car battery service:
Batteries last three to five years. You can measure your battery's remaining power, but to know its age, check the manufacturing date stamped on it. A good battery should have at least 12.6 volts. If it drops below that level, you need a new battery. But you should get your battery checked out first to be sure it's indeed old.
Your car is most likely having trouble starting in the morning because of its battery. This is one of the first signs that a battery is losing power. If this has been going on with your car for a while, it might be time for a new battery.
It means your battery is dying if you have to jump-start your car often. Even without a jump-start, a car should start if the battery is good.
Your battery might not be giving off enough power if it takes a long time for your car to start. While this issue could have other causes, if it appears alongside other signs, it’s likely your battery is failing.
You’ll know it's time to get a new battery if it starts to smell bad. This smell comes from sulfuric acid, usually released when the battery starts to break down. If this happens, you should get a new battery right away because the acid could damage your car or even start a fire.
A bulging battery case means that the cells inside are getting bigger and are about to break. If you observe this, you need to get a new battery as soon as possible because it could also lead to a fire.
