Best way I think would be to invest in a voltmeter. If a battery can't crank out at least 13V of juice (correct me if I'm wrong), it's about time you get a new one. Batteries should usually provide 14.4V of push if I'm not mistaken.

Or you could simply buy a new one every two years or so. Heat is supposedly a natural battery-killer.

kapag hirap kana magstart the usual day tapos mapapansin mo ayaw magstart bigla.

if moolah is not a problem to you, then you can do so every two years.
but for people like me who scrimp on food everyday, i usually wait for it to die down on me. there are symptoms which tell you of the impending death of your battery.

and yes, try to invest in a voltimeter.

Pa-test mo sa Motolite Service Center, pero dun ka bumili sa Suki mo Auto Supply mas mura dun kaunti, pwede mo pang i-benta luma mong baterya, doon mismo.
