Message from our Auto Electrician

As temperatures drop and winter sets in, its quite often the time our vehicle battery is starting to get sluggish on starting. As you probably already aware, a vehicle’s battery is its lifeblood. It provides the necessary power to start the engine and operate various electrical components. However, colder temperatures can significantly affect battery performance, leading to potential issues.

The chemistry inside a typical lead-acid battery slows down as temperatures drop, reducing its ability to deliver power efficiently. Additionally, the cold can increase the internal resistance of the battery, making it harder for it to supply the necessary voltage to start the engine. This combination of factors often results in sluggish starts or, in some cases, complete battery failure.
