Can a weak battery harm your vehicle?
- Auto electrical problems – A bad battery can cause electrical problems for power accessories (such as headlights, a navigation system, power windows, and door locks) that require significant power demands so that they don’t function as well as they should.
- Battery drain – Newer vehicles have powerful computers that are operating all the time, constantly drawing energy from the battery, even when the vehicle is turned off.
- Stop-start technology – Cars that automatically shut off when at a standstill place a greater strain on the battery than standard vehicles.
