Did you know? The older your car battery, the more vulnerable it becomes to extreme hot and cold temperatures, which can reduce performance and increase the risk of failure...
Dead or Weakened Battery Warning Signs
A common misconception about modern car batteries is that they will warn you before failing. In the past, vehicles would start slower and slower as a battery wore out, but today’s batteries are designed to operate at full capacity until they suddenly stop working.
While modern batteries last longer, it’s important to watch for early warning signs of battery failure so you can address issues before they leave you stranded. At Dream Coast Auto, our experts can help identify these signs and provide timely battery testing and replacement services to keep your vehicle reliable.
Common ways to tell that your battery is about to go out include:
⇔ Diminished electric functions (slower power windows, dimmed headlights, etc.)
⇔ Slower engine crank
⇔ Clicking noise when turning the key
⇔ Old age
⇔ Corroded terminals

FAQ's
A car battery can lose its charge in as little as two weeks if the vehicle isn’t used. Modern cars are more technologically advanced than ever, but these features come at a cost. With numerous gadgets and onboard computer systems, today’s vehicles are constantly running, monitoring systems 24/7, which can drain the battery even when the car is parked.
At Dream Coast Auto, our experts provide battery testing and maintenance services to ensure your vehicle stays reliable, no matter how advanced the technology.
Extreme hot and cold temperatures can take a serious toll on your car battery, especially if it’s already weak. Many drivers in warm climates don’t realize that hot weather can drain batteries faster, while cold temperatures slow chemical reactions, causing the battery to appear weaker than it really is.
Most modern batteries are designed to provide ample power even in cold-cranking conditions, but older or aging batteries may struggle—or even fail—to start your car on particularly frigid mornings. At Dream Coast Auto, our battery testing and replacement services help ensure your vehicle starts reliably, no matter the season.
There are several common reasons why a car battery dies unexpectedly, including age, corrosion, alternator problems, extreme weather, or leaving the headlights on.
