Signs You Need a New Car Battery
Car batteries typically last between 3–5 years, depending on driving conditions, usage patterns, and vehicle type. Unfortunately, most drivers don’t think about their battery until it fails — and by then, it’s often too late. Look out for these common warning signs:
- Slow engine crank or clicking sound when starting
- Dashboard battery warning light illuminated
- Dim headlights or flickering interior lights
- Battery requires frequent jump starts
- Corroded terminals or swelling in the battery casing
If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, drop by our workshop in Cranbourne. We’ll test your battery, alternator, and charging system to determine the cause of the issue — and recommend the right fix.

-
How do I know when my car battery needs replacing?
Common signs include difficulty starting the engine, dim headlights, electrical accessories not functioning properly, a swollen battery case, or the battery warning light appearing on your dashboard. If your battery is more than 3–5 years old or you frequently need jump-starts, it’s likely time for a replacement.
-
How long does a typical car battery last?
Most car batteries last between 3 to 5 years, depending on usage, climate, and maintenance. Extreme temperatures, short trips, or electrical drain from accessories can shorten battery life. At Carline Automotive & Exhaust Cranbourne, we test your battery's health and recommend the best time for replacement to avoid sudden failure.
-
Can I drive with a weak battery?
Driving with a weak battery is risky. While your car might still start, a weak battery can fail without warning, leaving you stranded. It also puts extra strain on your alternator. If you suspect your battery is weak, we recommend a quick battery test and replacement if needed to ensure reliable performance.

Yes, we supply and fit high-quality batteries for all vehicle types, including passenger cars, 4WDs, utes, and light commercial vehicles.

Do you offer battery testing and diagnostics?
Absolutely. At Carline Automotive & Exhaust Cranbourne, we offer quick and accurate battery testing using advanced diagnostic tools.
