The battery of your vehicle should last between 3 to 5 years, but eventually, it will need to be replaced. Problems with your battery will be indicated when you have dim lights, struggle with acceleration, or your lights flicker when driving. If you suspect your battery is having a problem, you can test the load capacity at home.
Turn on your headlights without turning on the car. Wait for ten minutes, and then start your vehicle. If the lights get dim when you start the car, your battery has failed the load test. You might hear clicking sounds when you turn over the engine, another sign that your battery is struggling.
If you suspect you are having battery problems, bring your vehicle to our service center at Suncoast Porsche in Sarasota, FL. We will test the battery and inspect it for corrosion. If it's time, we can recommend a new battery to replace the one you have.
