But how do you know if your battery needs to be replaced?

There are several signs that cannot be ignored.

Slow operation of the starter and untimely engine start indicate that the condition of the above-mentioned element of the car must be urgently checked.

Problems with lighting equipment

If your car headlights have started to shine very poorly, then the battery may have become much less powerful.

Usually in such situations, problems arise not only with the lighting equipment, but also with the air conditioner and the audio system.

Corrosion on terminals

The onset of corrosion processes on the clamping devices may indicate that the battery is very old and needs to be replaced.
