The Impact of Cold Weather on Car Batteries
It's universally acknowledged that cold conditions severely affect car battery performance. Lower temperatures decrease the battery's capacity to retain a charge, imposing additional stress during ignition. This situation could shorten the battery life and, in extreme cases, prevent the vehicle from starting. Batteries over three years old are particularly at risk as their efficiency declines. Routine assessments can help ensure your vehicle remains operational throughout the colder months.

The team at SAI Mechanical Repairs know the importance of periodic battery testing, particularly with winter on the horizon. A battery past the three-year mark may experience performance degradation and reliability issues due to wear and tear. Early detection of potential problems through regular checks can sidestep the inconvenience of battery failure.
