How to Know if My Jeep Battery is Dying: 6 Bad Battery Signs

You can probably safely assume your Jeep battery is dying if it's older, or if your engine light stays on-along with any of the indicators below.

Jeep Starts More Slowly Out Of Nowhere

Normally, when there's a seasonal temperature drop, cars start more slowly. If there's been no drop in temperature and your Jeep is suddenly taking noticeably longer than usual to start up, there's a good chance the battery is dying.

Lights Go On But Jeep Won't Start

If your Jeep's headlights go on when trying the ignition, but the Jeep itself doesn't start-or if the headlights turn on dimly, you probably have a failing battery on your hands.

Battery Looks Enlarged Or Swollen

If you're able to locate and inspect your Jeep's battery, and it looks visibly or uncharacteristically large, the battery could be suffering an alternator problem and will need to be serviced and/or replaced.

Battery Emits Weird Smells

If you're detecting a sulfuric scent or any other type of rotting odor from your battery or while driving, your Jeep and/or the battery needs attention ASAP.

Jeep Starts Then Immediately Dies

Often, when a car battery is on its last leg, it will try to provide you with high voltage in a swift burst upon ignition, but will immediately die afterward.

Radio Goes Dead

Your Jeep's battery doesn't just power the vehicle, but the headlights, wipers, and radio as well. If the vehicle starts, but the radio stays off, this is another indicator of a dying battery.
