Testing your car battery is possible, even when you don't have the equipment to do so. Problems with your battery can show up as dim lights or trouble accelerating while driving. If you suspect that your battery is starting to have trouble, you can test the load capacity at home in your driveway.
Turn on your headlights, and wait for ten minutes before turning your car on. A healthy battery is able to keep your lights on for this long without an issue. Start the engine and pay attention to your headlights. If the lights get dim when you start it, the battery is probably starting to fail.
If you suspect your battery is failing, have your battery inspected at our service center at Cadillac of Manhattan in New York, NY. If you need a new battery, our technician will explain what your options are for your vehicle. Get your battery tested to keep yourself safe from breaking down on the side of the road.
