How can I tell if my Honda City’s battery is weak o r completely dead?

A dead battery may show symptoms like slow engine cranking, dim headlights, o r no dashboard lights. How can owners perform a simple multimeter test to check the battery voltage and determine whether it needs replacement?

A simple way to check your battery’s health is by using a multimeter to measure its voltage. A fully charged, healthy battery should show around 12.6 volts when the engine is off. If the voltage is below 12 volts, the battery may be weak o r nearing the end of its life. A completely dead battery typically shows less than 11.8 volts. Other signs of a weak battery include slow engine cranking, dim headlights, o r no dashboard lights. If the voltage is low, its time to either charge o r replace the battery.
