Battery service encompasses everything from checking on your battery to getting a new unit. There are several ways to tell when you need battery service. Either you can check the manual or battery for reference or pay attention to signs your car gives you.
The car user manual is your friend when it comes to scheduling all kinds of maintenance. It should tell you where to find your battery, what type of battery you need, and for how long your battery is rated. The manual might also give you other advice. Sometimes it tells you how to jump-start the vehicle and drive with minimal strain on the battery unit.
You can also look at the battery itself. It often has a sticker that tells you when it expires and if it is under warranty. It might also have visible wear, including corrosion or dirt on the cables and leads. If you are not experienced with cars, do not risk touching these parts. Battery corrosion can be dangerous, as can live wires.
