Most auto owners wait until it is too late to check or replace their battery. Only after it dies or requires repeated jump starts do they consider a fresh one.Â
In general, you should think about getting a new battery every three years. If you park your vehicle outside or if it gets exposed to extreme heat or cold temperatures, you may want to make the change sooner.Â
Slow engine turnover or fluid leakage can also signal that it is time for an upgrade.Â
A qualified technician will check your unit, its connections, and related components, such as fuses, wiring, and spark plugs, during routine maintenance.Â
