There can be many issues that can cause you to have trouble starting your car. One of those issues is your battery. If you have problems starting your car, it is probably time to test its battery. Here are some tips our team at Land Rover of Tacoma in Fife, WA would like you to know about testing your car battery and recognizing a problem with the battery.
A multimeter can test the power of batteries, including car batteries. Follow the instructions on connecting the multimeter to your car's battery. If you have a standard battery, the multimeter should read between 12.2V and 12.6V. Any reading below 12.2V means you may need a new battery.
ClicksWhen you turn on your car, you should hear a little bit of a roar, then a purr. If you hear clicking noises instead, this indicates that your battery's power is low, or you have a dead battery that needs replacing.
