How Is Your Car’s Battery Holding Up this Winter?

The New Year is upon us (happy good-bye to 2020). With the advent of 2021 there is one thing that certainly remains constant. Topeka’s winter weather takes a toll on your vehicle’s battery. According to AAA your car’s battery loses about 60% of its strength at zero degrees, and even 35% when the outside thermometer hits freezing!

Here are some tips to prevent a dead battery –

1.  Keep your car covered and out of the wind.

2.  Pause for a bit before turning on the heater, the radio, etc.

3.  Clean wherever you can to prevent a build-up of dirt and debris.

4.  Have it checked periodically.

Knowing when a battery is about to fail is much better than discovering it after it actually happens! When was the last time you had your vehicle’s battery checked?
