Car Battery Tips

Reasons Your Car Battery Begins to Fail

4 Reasons Why Car Batteries Fail & What You Can Do To Safeguard Against Them

1. Extreme Temperatures

You can prevent this from happening by doing the following: Avoid parking your car in the sun whenever possible, and periodically test your battery to avoid starting problems by visiting a qualified auto service store. If the electrical circuit between the battery and a vehicle's computer system is broken, you could lose data in control units and infotainment systems.

2. Irregular Use

Many drivers think that no energy from the battery is being used when a vehicle is off. This is incorrect. Specific systems, such as alarms and locks, keyless-go functions, and navigation, need electricity even when the car is parked.

3. Short Trips

When car owners drive only short distances, the battery cannot fully recharge. In winter, power-hungry consumers drain the battery even further, such as rear windows and heated seats. Take your cor once in a month on a long-distance trip to recharge the battery through the alternator.

4. Age of The Vehicle

With increasing vehicle age, battery power can decrease due to corrosion and sulfation that can hamper proper charging. Drivers should test their batteries regularly to ensure a proper state of charge and performance.
