Almost everyone knows their car has a battery, but many people don't realize they wear out, until they are stranded somewhere. If you didn't buy your car new, there's a good chance you don't know how old the battery is. Car batteries do have an expiration date, after which they are more likely to fail.
There are several warning signs that your battery may be reaching the end of its useful life. You may notice your headlights seem dimmer than usual, or the engine cranks slower than usual. Looking at your battery, corrosion, leaking fluid or the battery looking swollen, are all signs your battery might not be in good shape.
Even if you don't notice any signs of possible failure, having it checked out is a wise idea. It's time to give your battery the attention it deserves. It's a small bit of preventive maintenance that could save you a large amount of trouble.
