Common early signs include:

Battery warning light on the dashboard.

Flickering o r dim headlights, especially at idle.

Unusual whining o r grinding noise from the engine bay.

Dashboard and infotainment glitches.

Weak starts o r frequent battery failures.

Pakistani drivers should treat these as urgent and test the charging voltage should be ~13.5–14.2V with engine running.
