The powerful little box (Automotive batteries) is designed to deliver maximum current for a short time. They are sometimes referred to as “SLI batteries”, for starting, lighting and ignition.
Automotive battery keeps the electric current steady: also stabilizes the voltage in order to keep your engine running safe.
Car batteries vary in different types of specifications based on manufacturers and may display different symptoms that affects the weakness of your car battery. The major symptoms that will be caused due to weak or bad battery are as follows.
- Slow engine crank: When you attempt to start the vehicle, the cranking of the engine is sluggish and takes longer than normal to start.
- Check engine light: The check engine light sometimes appears when your battery power is weak. Strange system indicator lights appear –such as check engine and low coolant lights.
- Slow Crank: You’re starting your car, and it keeps turning and turning, eventually starting–or not.
- Dim headlights: If car battery is failing, it’s not going to be able to fully power your vehicle’s electrical components – including your headlights will be dim and weak.
- Backfiring: This is one warning sign you can’t miss! A failing car battery can cause intermittent sparks. These sporadic sparks can lead to fuel accumulating in the cylinders when accumulated fuel is ignited.
- Needing to press on the gas pedal to start: You shouldn’t need to give your car gas to get it to start if you find that your car is only starting when you press your foot on the gas pedal.
If you have these kinds of car issues, please refer to your local mechanic and get the problem solved because your car battery is the source of your car!
