How To Tell if Your Car's Battery Needs To Be Replaced

A dead battery in a car is one of the most common automotive issues. Whether you leave a door partially open, forget to turn off your lights, or leave the radio on, we've all been there. However, recharging it back up to normal might not work, in which case the issue is more serious than a low charge level.

Sometimes, a battery that already has issues will get pushed beyond the limit and fail after being fully drained. Here are a few signs that your battery may need to be replaced or examined by our Kia repair experts:

• Check engine light: The check engine light can turn on when your battery is running low on power, among other situations. Of course, a check battery light is even more direct.
• Delayed engine crank: When you try to start your car, it may take longer than usual for the ignition to start. Perhaps it turns over slowly or not at all.
• Corrosion or fluid leaks: A battery fluid leak will usually cause noticeable corrosion, a sign that the battery needs replacing. You can clean this up with a towel and a mix of water and baking soda.
• Low battery fluid level: The battery and charging system need to be checked if the fluid level is low.
• Odd smell: An internally overcharged or undercharged battery may produce gas with a sulfur-like smell.
• Dim headlights: If the headlights in your Kia aren't as brilliant as they once were, or if they flicker or dim when you turn on other electrical components, you may need a new battery.

For these signs and others, act fast and book a service appointment to resolve any maintenance concerns. You'll save money and enjoy a more convenient Kia ownership experience.

How Long Do Kia Batteries Last?

Depending on the battery type, your driving habits, and the weather, a Kia battery can range from three to five years of optimal performance. Within that time, you should check your car battery voltage to make sure it's functioning well. Here's a checklist to help increase the life of your battery:

• Frequently inspect your battery for potential issues.
• Ensure that the battery components are connected securely.
• Park your car indoors, away from extreme or seasonal weather.
• Try to drive your car at least once a week for 10 minutes or longer, including some time at highway speeds.
• If you haven't driven the car or turned it on for a month or longer, disconnect the battery cables.

Except for high-performance batteries, automotive batteries normally operate at 12 to 13 volts. Anything outside that range could indicate a serious problem. If you decide that it's time for a replacement, our trained technicians will be happy to assist you.
