A car battery that has been drained is the most common reason why a car won’t start. To remedy this, you can have a jump-start service from your trusted roadside assistance provider or a friend who knows how to do the process.

However, there comes a time that simply jumpstarting your car battery won’t do. There also comes a time when it already needs to be replaced because it is already in a bad condition. Just like a flat tire, a bad battery being replaced is the safest thing to do. That can prevent you from having another car breakdown in the middle of nowhere.

But how do you know that you should already replace the car battery? Car batteries are expensive too so replacing them just because you feel like it is not an economical choice. Let’s help you figure out when your car already needs replacement. Here are some signs to watch out for.

Frequent Need For A Jumpstart

How often have you been jumpstarting your car? If you’ve done it a few times in a month or in a week, then that could be a sign that it needs replacement. If there is no other reason for the need for a jumpstart, then it could be the batteries.

Stinky Egg Scent

Do you know how rotten eggs smell? That’s the scent you should watch out for if you think your battery needs replacement. That scent is due to sulfuric acid that is already leaking. This acid can also deteriorate other car parts so it is best to get the leaking battery out and inspect the other parts.

Check Engine Light Is On

The check engine light could be turned on due to a variety of reasons. However, it can also be turned on due to a weak battery or a faulty one. If the battery is always undercharged, it detects that there is not enough energy. That will turn the light on.

Misshapen Car Battery

Physical inspection of your car battery should also be done regularly. It can swell, plump up, or just be in a different shape due to temperature fluctuations. It could also be due to the chemical reactions inside the battery. When that happens, you should have it replaced.

Bad Car Battery VS Drained Car Battery

A bad car battery is something that needs to be replaced. No matter how much you jump-start it, it will always need to be jump-started multiple times. A bad car battery does no good to your vehicle because it can cause more severe problems for the vehicle.

The problem could start with a leaking car battery and end up having to replace multiple parts because the acid has already corroded them. You need to watch out for the signs above so that you don’t have to wait for something like that to happen to decide to change your car battery.

A drained car battery has an easy fix and that is to jumpstart it. However, the drained car battery is more likely to get drained again if you don’t fix your driving habits. If you use too many gadgets that drain your car battery, you can expect it to be drained a lot. Although car batteries can be jump-started, you can not always do that because that could also lead to damage.

When you’ve figured out that your car battery is simply drained, then you also have to figure out what could have caused it to drain. Changing that can help ensure that your car won’t fail to start the next time you use it.


Getting stuck due to a drained battery after getting your groceries is a real mood killer. When you need help jumpstarting your vehicle from Schaumburg to Elk Grove Village, call All Set Towing Company…
