DB Cold weather can expose a battery that's already becoming weak, which is why breakdowns are more common on freezing mornings.
Why cold weather is hard on batteries
Lower temperatures reduce battery performance, while starting a cold engine can place significant demands on the electrical system, combining two challenges at once.
Why it's worth checking before winter
If your vehicle is beginning to crank slowly, getting the battery tested before winter is far better than discovering the problem on a freezing morning when you need the car.
Signs to watch for before the cold weather hits
- Slower cranking than usual
- Dimmer lights
- Any recent starting hesitation
- A battery approaching three to five years old
