It’s Time for a Battery Check
Are you sure your car is ready for the cold weather that lies ahead?
Cars have a harder time starting in colder temperatures, so it’s important to have your battery tested before winter. Without a little preventive maintenance, you may wind up stuck with a dead battery after the first cold snap.
Warning Signs Your Battery is Dying
Ideally, the best time to replace your battery is before it dies. So how can you tell if your car battery is nearing the end of its life? Common red flags include:
• Check engine light is on
• Engine is slow to start
• Lights are dim
• Onboard electrical components are not working as
usual (e.g., radio, power windows, heated seats,
cell phone charger, etc.)
• Something smells foul (like rotten eggs) under the hood • The battery case is swollen or cracked
• Your battery is 3 to 5 years old
Call AAA to schedule a car battery inspection at your home, office or wherever is most convenient for you.
A professional battery service technician will perform
a complete diagnostic test of your charging system.
If needed, the technician can sell you a battery at
$25 off retail and can replace your battery on the spot. All AAA batteries come with a 6-year warranty (3 years free replacement).
To schedule a battery inspection, call 1-800-AAA-HELP or visit AAA.com/carbatteryquote.
