Cold winter weather can be tough on your car's battery. As the temperature drops, an old battery can struggle to provide the power needed to start your engine reliably. At Buddy Chevrolet in Decatur, GA, our service center can make sure your battery is in top condition to handle the chilly months ahead.
Frigid temperatures slow down the chemical reaction inside lead-acid batteries that generate starting power. This means an older, weaker battery has to work even harder in the cold. Some warning signs that your battery may need to be replaced before winter include:
- Slow engine cranking
- Dimming headlights
- Battery warning light on dash
- Battery is more than three years old
Our certified technicians at Buddy Chevrolet can test your battery's health and charging system to identify any issues. If your battery is nearing the end of its life, we can install a dependable replacement so you won't be left stranded on a frigid morning.
