‘Stay Positive’ this Winter! Is your Battery in good health?

In the winter, your vehicle’s battery condition is essential for reliability due to the added strain from cold temperatures. Here’s why and how to maintain it:

Why Cold Weather Affects Batteries:

1. Slower Chemical Reactions: Cold weather slows down chemical reactions in the battery, reducing its power capacity.
2. Increased Power Demands: Starting a cold engine and using heaters, defrosters, and lights demand more energy.
3. Thicker Battery Fluid: Electrolyte fluid thickens in the cold, hindering power transfer.
4. Older Batteries: Degraded batteries may fail more easily in cold weather.
