At <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daltonsmidway.com\/\">Daltons Midway<\/a>, we are experts in keeping Your Vehicle running smoothly on the road. For more information, you may want to check out our post from last year on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daltonsmidwaynorth.com\/blog\/2024\/11\/19\/tips-for-safe-winter-driving\/?preview_id=2725&amp;preview_nonce=f7ff28f745&amp;preview=true\">Tips for Safe Driving In Winter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Vehicle&#8217;s Battery is significantly affected by Winter and the cold, no matter what Your Vehicle&#8217;s Battery age. In the graphic above, however, it is shown that as the outside temperatures get lower, Your Vehicle&#8217;s Battery takes more power to get started. This is the main effect of Winter on Your Vehicle&#8217;s Battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does this mean for you and Your Vehicle? It means that if Your Vehicle&#8217;s Battery is older, it is more likely to strand you, causing inconvenience. Even a newer Car Battery does not function at 100% in colder temperatures. (Note that the temperatures in the graphic above are listed in Celsius. This shows that at 8 degrees Celsius, which is roughly 45 degrees Fahrenheit, even the best Car Battery needs 155% of its available power to get started. If Your Vehicle&#8217;s Battery is older and weaker, the power Your Car needs may be more than the power Your Vehicle&#8217;s Battery has to give.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read <a href=\"https:\/\/evse.com.au\/blog\/how-does-temperature-affect-your-car-battery\/\">here<\/a> for more detailed information on how temperature affects Your Car Battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you prevent this problem with Your Vehicle&#8217;s Battery? An average Car Battery lasts three to five years. If Your Vehicle&#8217;s Battery is on the older side, it is a good idea to get it checked at Your Local Auto Mechanic to ensure that it doesn&#8217;t need replacing. It&#8217;s better to take the time to have Your Car Battery checked than to have it strand you at the side of the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daltonsmidway.com\/\">Daltons Midway<\/a>, we are happy to check Your Vehicle&#8217;s Battery, as well as take care of any of Your Vehicle&#8217;s maintenance needs.
