When Should You Replace Your Truck Battery?

Your battery will show signs that it is getting near the end of its life. It’s important to notice these indications and get your vehicle in for service. Warning signs that your battery is about to die include:

·         It takes longer for the engine to turn over and start.

·         The battery may need jumping before the engine will start.

·         Headlights dim when starting the vehicle.

·         You notice interruptions in power for the lights or other accessories.

Have your battery checked if you notice any of these signs. The cables or connections may need to be cleaned, tightened, or replaced. Corrosion can develop around the battery terminals, which can prevent the battery from having a good connection. If you have an older battery and the terminals are clean, it’s probably time for a new battery.

How Long a Battery Can Last

Batteries generally last for three to five years. However, the life of your battery will depend on several factors. These factors can include:

·         Hot climates which make the battery work harder. Liquids evaporate faster inside the battery with the hotter temperatures.

·         Continual vibrations from the vehicle may cause the clamps on the battery to loosen. With the excess vibrations, the interior components of the battery may wear out faster.

·         If you have to jump your battery, it will reduce the lifespan. Each time you jump it, the battery’s life is lowered.

Care for your battery as recommended by the manufacturer in your owner’s manual.
