If your battery ever dies, the engine will never be able to start and your vehicle will be inoperable. It is also important to watch how long and how often you use your battery’s power when the vehicle is off. Overusing the power will drain the battery and can reduce the battery’s life or kill it.

 If you turn your key in the ignition and nothing happens (your engine won’t start), you have a problem with your battery or your starting system. It will be necessary to have your vehicle jumped and taken to a repair shop to have the battery checked. If the battery is weak, you will need to have it replaced. Another way to ensure your battery is good is to have it checked every 3 months or 3,000 miles, basically whenever you have your oil changed.
