Remember these tips for the best cold-weather performance of your car battery and avoid an inconvenient and premature car battery replacement:
* Make sure your vehicle has a battery with the right Group Size and sufficient cranking power, and of a good quality.
* Because some corrosion can’t be seen, have your car battery checked by a professional. They should also inspect the battery cables, posts, and fasteners to ensure the cables are in good shape and secured firmly to the battery.
* Change the oil in your vehicle about every 3,000 miles (or as recommended in your owner’s manual).
* Have your car battery tested at every oil change
* Prepare your vehicle for winter by having preventative maintenance inspections and repairing any problems without delay, including a car battery replacement.
* Every six months, have your vehicle’s starting and charging systems inspected.
* Keep your car batter in good condition with a charger to maintain charge levels.
A car battery must be in good condition internally in order for it to function correctly. It works together with the connections that feed the current to the vehicle’s electrical components. If you have determined that the alternator is still working properly, chances are a car battery replacement is needed, especially if the electrical system isn’t working properly or inoperable altogether.
