Did you know that cold weather can actually damage an otherwise fully functioning battery, causing the battery to stop working? Having a car battery replacement can solve this. Many drivers do not realize this, but having a car battery replacement can be crucial in the event that the current battery is damaged. Avoid becoming stranded in a difficult situation by keeping track of the life of your battery, and equipping yourself with the necessary tools to avoid stress.
During winter storms, it takes tow trucks and mechanics longer than usual to come to the rescue of broken down cars. Fortunately, a car battery is easy to replace. If you know you are going on a long trip in cold weather, carry an extra car battery. You can be back on the road again in just a few minutes and very little out-of-pocket expense. Either be sure you know how to change a battery or seek professional help at an auto shop.
If you're going to change the car battery yourself, please keep these tips in mind:
- Vehicle must be turned off, and set to park
- Be careful not to drip battery acid on yourself or your vehicle
- Connect wires to the correct battery terminal
- Recycle batteries at an appropriate location
In order to avoid the unpleasant experience of becoming stranded, make sure you know the how much life is left in your car battery and have a replacement with you.
