Why a Healthy Battery Matters

A flat or weak battery is one of the most common reasons cars won’t start. At 1Stop Motor Shop in Mallusk, we often see drivers from Newtownabbey and Belfast caught out by failing batteries — especially in colder weather.

 

Signs Your Battery May Need Checking

  • Dashboard warning light stays on

  • Car takes longer to start or doesn’t start at all

  • Electrical issues, such as dim lights or slow windows

  • Battery looks swollen or corroded

If you’ve noticed any of these, it’s time for a quick check.
