Your vehicle’s battery is essential for keeping your car running smoothly. Over time, batteries can lose their efficiency, leaving you stranded or causing performance issues. At Roussel Toyota, we recommend regular car battery checks to ensure your battery is healthy and reliable.

Top Signs You Need a Battery Replacement:

1. Car Won’t Start: If the engine doesn’t crank, your battery may be dead.

2. Long Engine Turnover Time: Struggling to start your car is a key indicator of a weak battery.

3. Dim Interior or Exterior Lights: Lights that dim while driving or starting show your battery isn’t supplying enough power.

4. Swollen or Bulging Battery Case: Overcharging or internal damage can cause the battery casing to expand — this needs immediate attention.

5. Unusual Smells: A rotten egg or sulfur-like odor indicates battery overheating.

6. Frequent Jump Starts Needed: Needing a jump start often is a clear sign your battery is nearing the end of its life.

7. Corrosion on Battery Terminals: Build-up of corrosion can prevent proper electrical flow.

8. Electrical System Issues: Malfunctioning electronics such as power windows or dashboard lights can be linked to a weak battery.

9. Battery Age: Most batteries last 3–5 years. If yours is older, it’s time to get it checked.

10. Dashboard Warning Lights: Battery or charging system alerts mean it’s time for a professional inspection.
