It is important to make sure that your battery is in good shape, or you are at risk of getting stranded with a dead battery. You can test your battery at home, even without tools to measure battery capacity. If you suspect your battery is dying, look over the battery for signs of damage or corrosion.
Turn on the headlights of your vehicle, and wait for ten minutes. Start the engine and watch the strength of your headlights. If they dim when you turn the vehicle on, this indicates that your battery is not optimized and you probably need a new one.
Problems with acceleration or dim lights while driving can mean you need to have your battery replaced. If you are concerned about your battery, it can be tested at CertifiedPreOwned.com in our service center in Austin, TX area. A car battery lasts about 3-5 years and needs replacement when it no longer holds a charge.
