Weak juice?

I think my battery is going out. When headlights are on and I use power window, the lights and led dash get a little dimmer. Also windows are going up & down so slow. Time to change the battery?

Nope that's normal for us, but if it's noticable maybe.

This all sounds normal to me. You might want to take your car to any auto parts store in your area that offers free battery and alternator checks with the alternator still on the car, just for peace of mind.

As far as the slow power windows go, I would roll them down and lubricate the channels with some white lithium grease. See if that helps the up and down speed.

I always just change it when it dies. But you should have one handy.
