You may be curious as to why you have a dead battery despite not forgetting to turn off your lights or electrical system.
Before concluding that your battery is dead, make sure it is properly installed in the vehicle, that all cables and terminals are clean and tightly connected. It is possible there may be life left in the battery if issues arise due to a weak connection. If help is needed in jump-start your car, please refer to the step-by-step guide provided.
Modern car batteries may not always provide ample warning before failure. Previous models often exhibited a gradual degradation of performance before completely failing, however modern models typically operate at full capacity until the battery dies with no warning. While this does result in extended life for modern batteries, users should still be aware of small signs of failure.
It is important to consider that if a car does not successfully turn over, this could be caused by an issue with the battery, starter or alternator.
Failure of a starter may be due to electrical, mechanical or total breakdown, resulting in difficulty or inability to crank the engine.
The alternator in a vehicle serves two purposes – it acts to recharge the battery when the car is operational, and also assists with operating components such as headlights and windshield wipers. If the alternator is faulty, it can lead to erratic electrical functions or cause the engine to fail to run.
If the alternator is failing instead of the battery, your engine might be able to run briefly but will not stay on due to inadequate charge. Our staff can assist you in determining the root cause of any starting difficulties.
