Electrical problem

Recently my car has been struggling turn on and when it does abs lights and transmission light come on with radio not on and my battery voltage is low. But when I give the car some revs the battery goes back to normal voltage and lights go off and radio comes on. After that it drives fine and turns on fine it doesn’t struggle. Is this a sign of a dying battery?

Yes, dying battery or possessed battery unless it is relatively new then it is just a p.o.s.

I don't gamble but I bought a AGM AC Delco from amazon last night.
You might want to start looking for a battery before it leaves you stranded with a dead cell phone battery to boot.

Yes, sounds like battery, but also maybe a bad alternator. Take it to Autozone or similar, they'll run a free diagnostic on it.
