‘Tis the Season

  • Winter is the most common time for car batteries to start acting up.
  • Fluids evaporate during hot summer months creating corrosion, leading you to a dead battery by winter time.
  • Cold Cranking Amp (CCA) capacity drops as the temperature drops.
  • Older car batteries have a hard time holding current in cold weather.
  • Warmer climates are better suited for a car battery to operate at its maximum capacity.
  • Routine car battery maintenance can keep you from being stranded in the cold.

Battery Maintenance

You are most likely to experience battery failure. Avoid the hassle of a dead battery, especially during the rougher winter months, by taking these steps:

  • Get your car battery tested. Car or truck batteries 4 years old or older are at high risk of failing. Our store locator can point you to the closest location to get this free inspection.
  • Keep jumper cables in your vehicle. They’re compact and incredibly handy if you or someone you know is stranded with a dead car battery.
  • If you have questions about your car’s battery life or how to replace a car battery, please don’t hesitate to call Kendall Honda of Fairbanks Service Department.
