Signs of an electrical or charging problem

Most electrical faults give you a warning first.

  • Headlights that dim at idle, then brighten when you press the gas.1
  • The battery or charging warning light comes on.2
  • The engine cranks more slowly than normal.3
  • A battery that keeps going flat, even though it tests fine.1
  • A whining or grinding noise, or a smell like burning electrics.1
If the battery light comes on while driving

Cut back on electrical use and have the car towed to a shop.2

Making a battery last

Car batteries last 3 to 5 years on average. High heat evaporates the fluid inside, and freezing temperatures drain the charge.4

  • Have it tested at least twice a year.4
  • Keep the terminals clean. White, blue or green powder on them gets in the way of the battery doing its job.4
  • Short trips don't let the battery fully charge. Take a longer drive now and then.4
