Typical signs are slow cranking, dim lights, charging warnings, and battery age over 4 years.
If you notice electrical glitches, intermittent no‑starts, or a battery/charging icon on the dash, have your system checked. Boston’s stop‑and‑go traffic and winter temps can reveal a weak 12‑volt battery quickly. We’ll test the battery and charging system and recommend OEM‑spec replacement if needed—often the same day.
