Cold-Weather Battery Care: Simple Steps for Reliable Winter Starts

Freezing temperatures put extra strain on your vehicle’s battery. Cold weather slows battery power while your engine demands more energy to start, making Winter one of the most common times for battery failure.

Avoid no-start situations with these battery care basics:

• Have your battery tested before extreme cold hits
• Clean battery terminals to prevent corrosion
• Limit short trips that don’t allow full recharging
• Turn off accessories before shutting off your vehicle
• Use a battery tender if your vehicle sits for long periods
