How Often Should You Replace Your Car Battery in the UAE?
The day your car refuses to start is not the day your battery suddenly failed, it's the day it finally gave up after struggling for a while. A typical car battery lasts around 3–5 years, but in the harsh heat and humidity of the UAE, its life drops drastically, often just 1–2 years at best. The intense summer temperatures, stop-and-go traffic, and high air conditioner usage all take a toll. Join our FREE WhatsApp channel to dive into a world of real-time engagement! So how do you know it's time to replace your battery before you're stuck in a parking lot or on Sheikh Zayed Road? If you notice any of the following warning signs, it's time to get your battery tested and replaced. 1. Check Engine Light Is On If your check engine light turns on, it could mean many things from a loose gas cap to a serious engine issue. But it can also indicate a weak or dying battery. A quick battery test by a mechanic can tell you if the battery is to blame. 2. Your Car Backfires Frequent backfiring is a sure sign something's wrong and often it's the battery. A weak battery can cause uneven sparks, leading to unburnt fuel building up in the cylinders. When it finally ignites, you hear that loud bang. If this happens, get your battery checked immediately. 3. Dim Lights or Slow Cranking Are your headlights dim, or does your car crank more slowly when you turn the key? These are clear signs your battery isn't providing enough power. A sluggish start means the battery is on its last legs. 4. Clicking Sound When Starting If you hear a rapid clicking noise when trying to start your car, it means the battery doesn't have enough power to turn over the engine. This is one of the most common signs of a failing battery. 5. Rotten Egg Smell If you pop the hood and smell rotten eggs, it's likely due to a leaking battery releasing sulfuric gas. This is a serious issue, a leaky battery can damage other car components. Have it replaced right away. Stay Ahead of Battery Trouble In the UAE's extreme climate, it's smart to have your car battery checked every year, especially after the first year. Replacing it before it completely dies saves you time, stress, and the hassle of being stranded. If you notice any of these signs, don't wait for the car to stop running. Head to a trusted mechanic and replace your battery. It's a small investment that keeps you moving safely on the road.

The Car Battery Jump Starter I Recommend to Everyone Is 40% Off for Prime Day
Amazon Prime Day sale: The Powrun P-One portable car battery jump starter is available for $60 -- representing a 40% discount on the usual price -- during Amazon's Prime Day sale. This matches the lowest price we've seen on this product so far this year. I learned a lot about cars from my grandfather, who was an auto mechanic, but I never had to deal with car troubles on my own until I had to jump-start my car battery by myself. My beloved 2011 Toyota was making a weird sound when I turned the key, and it wouldn't start. Like any responsible young adult, I immediately FaceTimed my dad and played the sound for him. He determined in less than a minute that I'd need to jump-start my car to get it running. (Spoiler: He was right.) Ever since then, I've been sure to keep several key items in my car in case of an emergency, and one of those is a portable jump starter. The Powrun P-One is the jump starter I keep in my trunk, and I recommend it to absolutely everyone I know. Right now you can get it for just $60 with this Amazon Prime Day deal. That's 40% off the normal list price of $100. This 12-volt portable jump starter battery pack can start my car in seconds without another car or anyone else's help. Complete with mini jumper cables and instructions, it's practically idiot-proof. (I say this proudly as a car idiot who has used this pack several times to jump-start my car.) It's incredibly easy to use. You prepare your car like you would if you were jumping it from another car. Pop the hood, locate the battery and attach the jumper cables. Then, using the black connector attached to the jumper cables, you plug the jumper cables into the battery pack, matching up the blue plug to the corresponding port on the battery pack. Then, you flip the switch to turn the battery pack on, and a green light on the jumper cable connector will signal you have a good connection. All you have to do is retry starting your car, and that extra charge bank should give you the juice you need to get it running. This battery has enough juice to jump-start your car up to 25 times from a single charge and is compatible with 12-volt gasoline and diesel engines. Plus, it has an intelligent safety system (in the form of eight types of protection systems) to make sure you don't electrocute yourself. In addition to helping you get moving, this battery also comes with a flashlight, compass and ports you can use to charge your phone or other devices. It also has a display screen that shows your usage and remaining battery power. It's lightweight, compact and easy to store in your glove box or trunk. This is everything that comes with the battery jump starter. Amazon Why I recommend the Powrun P-One to everyone I don't like to tout any product as life-saving, but this one really could be. Luckily for me, my car battery died during daylight hours in a relatively safe place, but the situation easily could've been much worse. Aside from the convenience of not needing another car to get a jump start, this portable jump starter is as much a safety tool as it is a car tool. I feel much better driving around knowing I have it in my trunk, ready to go if needed. If you use the Powrun P-One only once, it'll probably provide relief that will justify its purchase. While you might not normally think of a jump starter as a gift, here me out: It's actually a great gifting idea for the young adults in your life. This jump starter may not be the "coolest" gift, but it's practical, thoughtful and sets the recipient up for real-world adulting. Plus, if your giftee ever needs it, you can most definitely expect a thank you call or text afterward.

If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. No one is enthused to find out their car battery died. But just because you left the headlights on overnight doesn't mean it's time for a replacement. These days, it doesn't take a trained mechanic to recharge any type of battery found in an internal combustion engine vehicle. Automatic car battery chargers are widely available, easy to use, and more affordable than ever. In fact, this Husgw charger is on sale for $24 at Walmart— 82% off the original $139 price tag — and offers everything you need to not only jump start your car but restore it to its full glory. In addition to every type of 12V lead-acid battery, the Husgw T90583 is compatible with larger 24V batteries used in many heavy duty trucks and industrial vehicles. The only car batteries it won't charge are the lithium-ion variety found in battery-electric and hybrid vehicles — fortunately we have EV chargers for that. For the vast majority of batteries it will charge, the Husgw T90583 is essentially plug and play. Just connect each clamp to its corresponding terminal, select your mode, and start charging. Once it's finished the job, the charger will automatically shut off. Since it is self-regulating, you won't have to babysit your battery charger for hours on end. Modern chargers including are equipped to prevent overcharging, overheating, and short-circuits. That said, you can intuitively monitor activity such as charge status, battery life, voltage, current, and temperature on the built-in LCD display. In addition to charging batteries, the device can extend the life of older, worn-down, or slightly damaged batteries, thanks to its pulse repair function. Additionally, the charger doubles as a maintainer to keep your battery from dying in cold weather, especially if it's not driven regularly. Reviews of the car battery charger are favorable. One customer even called it an 'exceptional battery charger,' praising its 'advanced features.' 'The Husgw 12V 10A battery charger is a fantastic piece of equipment!' added that reviewer. 'From the moment I started using it, I was impressed by the intuitive color screen digital display that makes monitoring the charging process straightforward.''Stylish and sturdy,' said another shopper. 'I definitely find great attraction in this charger's exquisite design and small size.' Other customers noted its compact size and impressive performance for the price. In any case, a battery charger is a smart addition to any automotive emergency kit, and the Husgw T90583 is among the most affordable considering the extent of its capabilities. For $24, you might as well give it a shot.
