What to Look Out For
Outside of having it regularly serviced, one of the best ways to have your car’s battery and charging systems performing at their best is to know when they aren’t. By understanding basic warning signs, you’ll be able to prevent the issues from getting worse. Here are just a few signs that your car’s battery or alternator may require service:
410-541-1388Car Doesn’t Start Properly
When you turn the key or push the button, you expect the engine to start immediately. If it takes a few extra seconds to start the car, or if the car doesn’t start at all, there may be something wrong with the battery. The spark plugs utilize the battery to send a spark to the air-fuel mixture and start your vehicle. Without a functioning battery, your car won’t start, so we recommend you visit us to see if the battery must be recharged or replaced.
Dim Headlights
Do you feel like your car’s headlights are a little dim? If so, there may be something wrong with your car’s electrical systems. This is usually caused by a low-charged battery or faulty diodes found in the alternator. This can be dangerous to drive with, especially on dark and rainy nights. Make sure you visit a professional to accurately determine what’s going on.
