Your Mazda's battery is one of the major component that helps power up your vehicle and electrical system! Similar to all batteries, there are factors that can cause your battery to weaken and fail and knowing the signs of a weak battery can help prevent you from being stranded!
Factors that Affect a Battery:
- Age
The average life of an automotive battery in Canada is 3 to 5 years (driving conditions, weahter and lack of care can shorten lifespan of a battery) - Hot Temperatures
Contrary to popular belief, it's excess heat, rather than cold which damages batteries - Cold Temperatures
Although it's heat that damages batteries, cold temperatures limit the amount of power a battery can generate - Low Mileage Driving
Driving too many short distances limits alternator charging - Lack of Regular Battery Maintenance
Corrosion of the battery terminals puts strain on the battery
Learning the signs of a low or malfunctioning battery can help prevent being stranded with a dead battery (especially during the cold weather where batteries don't perform as usual)!
Fact: a battery with low charge can lose up to 40% of its performance in sub-zero temperatures!
Signs of a Low Battery or Malfunction:
- Dim Headlights
- Clicking sound when you push the START/STOP ENGINE button
- Slow cranking sound when starting the engine
- Corrosion/acid build up on the battery or terminals
- Warning light is on the instrument cluster
- Car won't start after sitting overnight
- Battery looks swollen, plump (this indicates that there has been a chemical reaction within the battery and it is very unsafe to drive with! Please get your battery changed as soon as possible!)
If you're starting to see these signs, you can take your vehicle to a Mazda Dealership (Hello!) to get a Mazda Battery Service or replace your battery with a Genuine Replacement Mazda Battery.
