When you first turn the key to start your car, if you notice a momentary, split-second lull or "bog-down" before everything starts normally, your battery might be ready to go out on you. I'm no expert, but this is what I have observed three times in my life, right before the battery died completely. Gerry Gunn, Los Angeles
