South Pointe Honda welcomes you to discover why your Honda battery light is active.
If the car battery indicator comes on when you start the vehicle, that’s a routine system check. If it stays on, then there is likely a problem. If you have problems with the battery, you may notice that your headlights are getting dimmer, the stereo might not turn on, and the power windows could be moving slowly. If any of these things are happening, you really need to get home or bring it to us as soon as possible because your vehicle is ready to die. If neither is available, look for a safe place to park.
Like most things automotive-related, how long you can drive with the car battery light turned on really depends on your circumstances. If the light just came on, then you can help mitigate the problem by switching off all non-vital systems like the radio or heater and disconnecting any phones that may be connected to USB slots. This can extend the remaining battery charge, but you should still try to come here or return home. The most critical thing is to NOT turn off the engine because a dying battery won’t have the power to start the car.
The car battery light might come on for many reasons, but generally, the reasons are:
A car works most efficiently when it has a fully-charged battery. Any of these problems will make it difficult for your battery to get charged. If it’s not fixed as soon as possible, it can leave you stranded.
If there’s a safe place to park, at the very least, you can pop the hood and check your car battery for rust on the battery or a loose cable. Besides those quick checks, the best way to fix the battery light is to bring it to our service center. Our skilled techs have the skills and specialized tools to diagnose the problem. They will investigate everything from checking out your alternator to your battery health and then recommend the correct course of action to get your car repaired.
