Car Battery Testing & Replacement

Cold Weather and Car Battery Performance

The efficiency of car batteries diminishes in cold weather as the required chemical reactions slow down, affecting the battery's ability to start the engine. This is particularly noticeable in vehicles that have remained idle for extended periods. Cold temperatures also thicken engine oil, which increases the difficulty for the engine to turn over, adding more strain on the battery. Older or weakened batteries are more likely to fail under these conditions, highlighting the need for timely battery maintenance as the colder months approach.

Preventative Battery Maintenance

To avoid unexpected battery failures and ensure reliability, our service includes a FREE Driveway Battery Test. This preventive measure is intended to identify and address battery issues proactively. Our technical team employs advanced diagnostic tools for comprehensive evaluations, recommending battery recharges or replacements as needed. We also examine the charging system and electrical connections to ensure overall vehicle performance is optimised.

Vehicles with batteries older than 3 years are particularly encouraged to undergo testing to maintain reliability in cold weather.

Home or Away Mechanical Services maintain an inventory of Century batteries suitable for most vehicles.
