It is not correct that the battery would not conk out while the engine is running. The thing is, even if the battery dies, you wont be affected as long as the engine is running. If by chance the engine gets switched off, you end up being stranded. Believe me.....this has happened to me

. It is always advisible to change the battery before the inevitable happens.
