Signs your Battery may need Replacing

Your car's battery uses stored energy to operate the starter motor, ignition system, fuel injection system and other electrical devices during engine cranking and starting. The battery also supplies all the electrical power for a car whenever the engine isn't running. A 'flat' battery is the most common causes of car breakdowns.
