Question about battery icon on instrument cluster.?
I have a 2010 Dodge Journey, the battery icon on the instrument cluster lets me know if the battery is not charging. What about if the battery is failing? Would it warn me or do I have to so my own checks to see if it needs to be replaced soon? It's 3 years old and I don't want to get stuck like I did once in my Neon which have me no indication at all!

When the light which looks like a battery comes on, it's telling you that something's wrong with the charging system -- could be battery failure, could be alternator failure, could be busted drive belt to alternator, could be blown fuse or relay, might be dirty or corroded cables or terminals. Go to a quality auto parts store for free battery and alternator check -- my guess is alternator, but it's just a guess.

When your car takes longer to start, probably means time to get a new battery. Get a new one if you are in doubt.
