The most common symptoms of a faulty battery are:

Vehicle is a lot slower than usual
Vehicle battery does not last long
Vehicle turns on but does not move

Depending on the symptoms above, here are a few ways you can troubleshoot a faulty battery

Try and turn the car on, if this does not turn on check the battery is connected.
If the car is turning on check the voltage on the music display, this should never be lower than 2 of the total voltage e.g 10 on display for a 12v model.
