Winter weather can be tough on your vehicle, especially the battery. Cold temperatures slow down the chemical reactions inside the battery that are needed to generate power. This reduced capacity, combined with increased power demands from your engine and accessories in the cold, can lead to a dead battery and leave you stranded.
Some common causes of winter battery failure include:
- An old, worn-out battery that can no longer hold a charge
- Corrosion or loose connections preventing proper current flow
- Parasitic drains from accessories left on when the engine is off
- Extremely cold temperatures below the battery's operating range
