How do you fix low voltage on a car battery?
I’ve been having trouble with my battery lately. It’s only two years old, so I’m not sure what the problem is. When I took it to the auto parts store, they said the voltage was low. How can I fix low voltage on a car battery?

Low voltage on a car battery can cause serious issues, so it’s good you’re addressing it now!
There are several ways to fix low voltage on a car battery, including:
- Taking the battery out and charging it
- Replacing your alternator
- Replacing the battery
If your battery issues aren’t major, a jumpstart or charge should get the voltage back up on your battery. However, if you find the battery still has low voltage after a charge, you may either need to replace the battery or your alternator.
Both of these fixes are more expensive, so you’ll want to try the cheapest options first before attempting any larger repairs. You can also take your car to a mechanic. Before doing any maintenance or repairs, they can give you an idea of the cost.
If you have to pay for repairs, an easy way to save extra cash is with the
