Top Reasons for Poor Performance of a Car Battery in Winter Time
Why do car batteries have a bigger chance of failing
during the winter than during other times of the year?
In a nutshell, the battery has to work harder when it’s
cold. Research conducted by AAA suggests that at zero
degrees, a battery can lose 60% of its strength.
The age of the battery is going to matter on whether it
can withstand the cold. A battery that is over three
years old is going to have a much harder time keeping
its charge than one that is only a few months old, all
things being equal.
We tend to have several devices charging while we are
driving. This is not generally a problem unless the
strength of a car battery is compromised. Therefore, it’s
best to keep from charging your devices but if you
must, charge only one at a time.
The winter months also puts a drag on your battery because
of all the car features that are simultaneously being used.
The lights are on along with the heat. Depending on how
cold it is outside, that heat is probably on full blast. If it is
precipitating, then the wipers will be running along with the
hazard lights, when necessary.
A subtle reason why batteries have a tougher time during
winter is that the electrons slow down during cold weather.
Have you ever had a battery operated device that took a
long time to start up when it had been sitting in the cold for
a long period of time? It’s no different with a car battery. In
fact, it could take the car battery longer to warm up simply
due to its size. It is difficult in this condition, for a battery to
recharge as quickly as when it is warm out.
During any season, it is a good idea to keep your battery as
fully charged as possible. With all the other reasons that
contribute to poor performance in the winter, you want to
make sure you use the car as frequently as possible. This
will give the battery a chance to recharge properly. Just
going into town and back may not be enough. On some of
the days that you travel, try to stretch out the driving
session to allow for full recharge.
It’s not a bad idea to have your battery tested before the
winter months arrive. This way if there are problems, you
can take action before you get stuck in harsh conditions.
Trucks have a larger problem during winter months in that
they are much heavier which means everything has to work
harder. Find out more information at truck batteries in
