Cold winter mornings have a way of putting everything to the test—especially your car battery. When temperatures drop, a weak or old battery is more likely to fail, leaving you stuck when you need to get going the most. At Leonard Tire and Automotive, we want to make sure you avoid those dreaded no-start situations.

Is Your Battery on Its Last Legs?

Car batteries rarely die without some warning. Knowing the signs of a dying battery can save you from frustration (and that unexpected tow truck bill). Here are a few red flags to watch for:

• Slow Engine Crank

If your engine takes longer than usual to start or cranks sluggishly, your battery might be struggling to hold a charge.

• Dim Lights or Electrical Issues

When the lights inside your car or your headlights seem dimmer than normal, your battery power could be draining. Other electrical components like power windows or the radio might also act up.

• Check Engine or Battery Light

Seeing one of these dashboard lights? It might not be the engine—your battery could be the culprit.

• Corrosion or Swelling

Check your battery for white, chalky residue (corrosion) or a swollen appearance. Both are signs it could be time for a replacement.

• Battery Age

If your battery is over three years old, it’s living on borrowed time—especially in colder months.

If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, don’t delay! A quick battery check at Leonard Tire and Automotive can pinpoint the problem before it leaves you stranded on an icy morning.
