Why does my car alarm keep going off after changing battery?

Usually, your battery sends a signal whenever you’re starting the engine. If your battery is low on power, then the alarm will go off whenever you turn on your car. Think of it as the car letting you know that it’s time to replace it. You can check your battery’s condition by using a voltmeter.
