Signs that you have to change your car's battery

[hops]

What are the signs that you have to change your car's battery?
How long does a car battery usually last?
Hope to get your comments.

When it seems like the starter takes an extra crank or two to start, battery might be due for a change.

sa akin, napapansin ko lang, instead of the usual one crank, mga two to three cranks before starting.

i normally replace my batteries from 2.8 years to 3.5 years. yes, my last battery change took me 3.5 years.... hehehehe.

well, if you can no longer start the car with one click and hear the slow crank.
i just replaced my battery recently kasi nadischarge siya (left the fog light on) then when re-charged, hindi na nakabalik sa dati so pinapalitan ko na. Then nalaman ko na 2003 pa pala iyon (from the number code) so 5 years ko nagamit yung Motolite Enduro 2SM & I replaced it with the same brand. After 3-4 years I think ang palit unless you see the signs of hard starting. Better still, have your electricals (alternator, regulator, starter & wirings) checked prior to replacement.

ayaw na mag start or hirap na mag start especially kung nakapark ng overnight
