The best way to avoid ending up with a dead battery is to monitor your current battery and install a new one proactively. When the signs of a worn-out battery arrive, it's smart to go ahead and replace it before you end up stranded in a parking lot.

You may be able to tell if your car needs a new battery on your own. Keep an eye out for these telltale signs.
