When does a car battery need to be replaced?
If you find it near 11 volts or less, it has a shorted cell and must be replaced. Once your battery is at 12.6 volts, there will be no problem cranking the engine if the cables and connections are in good shape. When the engine is running, measure the battery’s voltage again. You must find between 13.75 and 14.75 volts.
