Not purely because winter is approaching should you replace your battery. However, if it's ageing or showing signs of weakness, testing it before colder weather can help reduce the risk of an unexpected breakdown.
Why winter is tough on batteries
Cold temperatures can reduce battery performance, making an already weak battery more likely to struggle when starting the engine on a cold morning.
Signs it's worth checking before winter
- The battery is approaching three to five years old
- You've noticed any slower starting recently
- Lights have seemed dimmer than usual
- You've had a flat battery at any point this year
What a pre-winter check involves
DB Autos can test your battery's condition and the charging system, giving you time to address any developing issue before the coldest months arrive.
