In order for your car to run properly, your battery needs to be in working order. Generally, you should replace the battery in your car about every three years, but there are some signs to look for in case you need a new battery before the three year mark.
If you notice that your check engine light stays on even after you've had your car serviced, this could mean that you need a new battery. If the battery is swollen, it may need to get replaced, since the swelling is a sign that the battery is overheating. It may also be time for a new battery if it takes a long time for the car to start. If the battery is leaking and you notice corrosion around the posts of the battery, the battery should get replaced as soon as possible.
Even after your battery has been working well for three years, make sure your technician here at Honda Cars of Rock Hill in Rock Hill, SC, checks the health of your battery each year to let you know if there are any issues.
