Typical causes
Battery drain can come from an aging battery, charging issues, lights left on, modules staying awake, wiring faults, or aftermarket accessories.
Testing matters
A proper test checks the battery, charging system, and parasitic draw before recommending replacement.
When to act
Repeated jump starts, slow cranking, or dim lights are signs to schedule electrical testing.
