What it does
The battery supplies the current to crank the starter and stabilises voltage for every electronic system on the car. Once the engine runs, the alternator takes over and recharges it.
Signs it needs replacing
- Slow, laboured cranking when starting
- Headlights dimming noticeably at idle
- Corrosion crusting the terminals
- Needing a jump start after standing overnight

FAQ
How long does a car battery last?
Typically three to five years, but sustained heat is the biggest enemy — it accelerates internal plate corrosion and water loss. In hot climates, three years is a realistic expectation rather than a pessimistic one.
Why did my battery fail without warning in summer?
Heat damages a battery quietly over months, then the failure appears on the first cold morning when cranking demands more current. Summer causes the damage; winter reveals it.
