Dashboard Warning Lights: The appearance of the battery light or check engine light on your dashboard can indicate battery issues.
Electrical Issues: You may notice some electrical components such as lights, power windows, or the infotainment system behaving erratically.
Swelling Battery Case: A battery that’s failing can sometimes swell, distorting the case and indicating that it needs to be replaced.
Battery Age: If your battery is more than three to five years old, it might simply be at the end of its life cycle, especially if you're experiencing issues with car startup or electronics.
Corroded Battery Connectors: White, ashy deposits on the metal parts of the battery can cause issues with voltage and impede the ability to start the car.
