Possible causes include a parasitic drain (e.g. lights left on), faulty alternator, or electrical system faults.
- How do I know if my battery is failing?
Symptoms include slow engine crank, dim headlights, warning lights or needing a jump start frequently.
- Can I test my car battery at home?
Basic voltage checks are possible with a multimeter, but a full test requires load testing tools used by professionals.

Yes – short trips may not fully recharge the battery. Try longer drives or use a battery charger when not in use.
