How To Change a Car Battery
How often should I change my car battery?—By kassiepanova
I have a 2000 Toyota Camry and it’s been acting oddly recently. My headlights randomly won’t work and the light that indicates the AC is turned on sometimes flashes. Is this because of the car battery? The battery has been changed 3 times in the past 9 years or so.

It depends on your environment.
Excessive heat or cold will put a strain on a battery.
Luckily it doesn’t fail all at once.
You will first notice starting problems until it finally won’t have enough juice to start the engine.
Take it into an auto parts dealer and have it checked periodically.
They offer this service at no charge..

Here I have the same question about How often do I need to change car battery or car tyres?
What “signs” do i look for that tells me I might need to change them… apart from having a flat or stalled car of course lol.

AS A GENERAL RULE—
Most car batteries are good for from 3-5 years, depending on the quality and the degree of maintenance.
As for the telltale signs of failure, there aren’t many other than the car begins to crank over a little slow. The only other sign is the car won’t start in the morning.
There are signs that the mechanic sees, but you won’t notice it because you aren’t checking it and probably don’t have the equipment.
As for tires, those are easier to check.
If you look closely at the tread pattern, at the bottom of the grooves, you will see little raised bars that run across the entire tread. When you can see them clearly, and they are as exposed as the tread, the tires are no longer safe or legal.
These are the ’safety bars’ that are cast into the rubber to identify when they have reached a tread depth less than 2/32″.
You can also tell it is time when you place a penny with Lincoln’s head toward the tread. If you can see the top of his head, you have less than 2/32″ remaining.
It is smart to not allow them to get this worn, because this is the absolute minimum tread. It is best to keep at least 4/32″ (1/8″) tread depth, and then begin to look for sales.
Replace them with the size recommended by the manufacturer, and replace them in matching pairs left to right.
Keep them inflated properly (check the owner’s manual or the driver’s door post) for longer tire wear and safety, not to mention the fuel economy.
Hope this clears things up
Good Luck
