CTEK Highlights Most Common Signs of Battery Failure

London, UK (PRWEB) August 22, 2010

CTEK, a leading global brand in the care and maintenance of vehicle batteries has highlighted the most common tell tale signs of battery failure in motor vehicles.

Battery Protection is of the utmost importance but motorists can pre-empt battery failure by looking out for a number of signs, all of which indicate that there may be an issue with a vehicle battery. One way of immediately detecting that there may be a problem with a battery is that the starter motor turns slowly, barely starting the vehicle, which is usually an indication that there may be wiring problems preventing the battery from fully charging. Furthermore, the car may not start at all.

The internal electrics of a vehicle can also exhibit symptoms of battery failure, such as the headlights being dimmer than usual and lights such as the ABS warning on the dashboard coming on at random.

Mikael Moberg, Sales Director Europe at CTEK, commented: "There are numerous ways that vehicle owners can look out for any potential problems with their battery, ranging from issues with the actual parts of the car to the electrics within. Motorists should be aware that the electricity inside the car is not the only sign that a battery needs to be charged; if the electrics work but the car won't start, many motorists incorrectly eliminate a flat battery as a cause of this.

"Motorists can make good use of a Smart Battery Charger in ensuring that their battery is always in tip top condition. Battery care is of paramount importance in the maintenance and smooth running of any vehicle and a CTEK 12V battery charger provides an simple to use yet highly effective solution."

CTEK offers a host of 12V and 24V battery chargers to suit everything from cars and motorcycles to lawn mowers and commercial vehicles.
