How to tell if you need a new car battery fitting
Paying attention to the signs of imminent battery failure and booking an immediate replacement could save you from being stuck with a car that won’t start.
When your battery is on its way out, you may notice corrosion around the terminals, which looks like a greenish, powdery substance. Your headlights might be dim, flicker or be overly bright, and you may experience intermittent electrical issues. A rotten egg smell is another common sign of battery failure. The most obvious thing to look out for is your engine taking longer to start than usual.
Any of the above signs indicate a problem with the battery; the sooner you act, the less likely you’ll get caught out. After all, there’s never a convenient time to find out your car’s battery is completely flat.

Should I get a mechanic to fit my car battery?
