One of the most common reasons for a car to refuse to start is a dead battery. The battery is obviously an essential element to a car’s operation, as it allows it to be started. Because of this, you should check you battery with every oil change, or when ever you happen to have to hood open. A sure sign that might suggest a dying battery is a hesitation to start, but you can often diagnose a battery’s health by looking at it. If the battery’s casing is cracked, the battery cables are frayed, or there is any leakage from the battery, it is a good idea to replace it. You should also clean off any corrosion that is on the terminals, as this can prevent the car from starting as well. If you can’t even remember how long your battery has been in your car, it is a good idea to replace it, as you don’t want to get stuck in the middle of nowhere. Always be very careful when doing anything with your battery, as they can be very dangerous.
