MAZDA Batteries at a Glance
The battery is an essential part when it comes to keeping your vehicle running right. Typically, batteries last three to five years, but they can wear down more quickly, depending on environment and driving style. Here are some indications that your battery should be inspected or replaced:
- Your Check Engine Light is On: There are many reasons the check engine light might come on, but a bad or dying battery is one of the most common.
- Your Vehicle Struggles to Turn Over: If you hear the tell-tale click when you go to turn your car over, that is an indication that your vehicle needs a new battery. If it struggles to turn over, your battery may be dying and needs to be replaced.
- Visible Corrosion or Wear: When a battery goes bad, it can actually leak or swell, causing corrosion and damage to other parts and systems. If you suspect the battery may need care or replacing, peek under the hood to see how it looks.
- You Smell Rotten Eggs: Along with visible signs of corrosion, you may notice damage by smell, as well. Sulfur produces an egg-like odor, which you will notice if it leaks from the battery.
