The reason your car battery may be wearing out sooner than expected is because it is responsible for powering more devices than you even realize. Besides the lights, wipers, and stereo, the battery is powering the navigation system, charging stations, and the instrument panel. Keep an eye out for the following signs your battery needs to be serviced:
- Each morning, the car is having more trouble cranking over when you try starting it.
- When you start the car in the morning, the headlights appear to be very dim.
- You notice a very strange odor coming from the battery compartment.
- The interior lights are flickering or very dim.
- The battery casing appears to be swollen.
- You need to get a jump start occasionally in order to get the car started.
