Keeping your car battery in good condition is essential if you want your vehicle to run smoothly for many years to come. If you notice a leak or significant damage, your first step should be to set up an appointment at our service center as soon as possible. You’ll likely need a new battery, but you should have a professional inspect the vehicle and ensure nothing is damaged.
A leak in your battery can have a few possible culprits. Whether there’s been an accident or it’s worn over time, the old battery should be replaced and disposed of properly. Below are a few warning signs that the battery is damaged and should be replaced:
If your battery shows signs of damage, do not touch it. You should bring your vehicle to our service center to have the problem checked out by a professional. Don’t wait too long; a damaged battery can be dangerous. The chemicals in it can be damaging to your skin, and a leaking battery can behave unpredictably, risking damage to your vehicle and its electrical system.
Once you notice a leak, make sure you don’t come into contact with the fluids leaking out. What is leaking from the battery is likely acid. If you visit our service center, we can dispose of the battery for you. If you choose to change out the battery yourself, the location you previously had your battery replaced at can likely help dispose of it.
