Common Lincoln Car Battery ProblemsÂ
- A Slow Start - A failing battery can cause a slow start in your Cherry Hill driveway, but this is also a sign of a bad alternator. How can you tell the difference? If it's indeed the battery, look for these additional clues: The car is difficult to start in lower temperatures, the car doesn't make any sounds and the lights in the cabin do not illuminate, or your vehicle runs after it has received a jump-start.
- Corrosion is Present - Pop open the hood to see if there is corrosion on or around the battery. If that is the case, it could lead to diminished performance. Carefully remove the corrosion, then check the battery for leaks. If you do find a leak, it's time to replace the battery.
- The Battery Fluid Level is Low - Low battery fluid is another cause of issues. Headlights that dim or flicker or an engine that struggles to turn over are common problems caused by not having enough battery fluid. Topping off the fluid should resolve these issues.Â
- Frequent Jump-Starts - If your battery is unable to hold a charge, you'll have to jump-start your vehicle frequently. We recommend replacing your battery when this happens.Â
- The Battery is Old - If your car battery is nearly five years old or older, it's a good idea to have it replaced.Â
