Did you know that your car battery has a life span of about 3 to 4 years?
This is one of the most common issues that motorists experience and it is easily preventible. Especially now that it is cold outside, you want to make sure that your vehicle will start.
Keep your eyes open for worrying symptoms, if your car experiences a sluggish start when cold, get your battery checked.
When winter comes and the temperature dips below freezing your battery loses 33% of its power. When the temperature falls below zero, you loose even more battery power, generally up to 50%. Taking into consideration that during the cold months your vehicle requires even more power to run the heater and the defroster as well as turn over the engine, your battery really goes through quite the workout.
To avoid any battery issues use the following precautions:
Clean your battery and your battery terminals - this can be done by using a battery cleaner.
Get your battery checked before winter comes
