Your battery survived summer… but will it survive fall?
Hot summer temperatures are hard on your battery. Heat can speed up internal corrosion and weaken the battery, even when your car starts just fine.
Then the temperatures start dropping... cooler mornings make your battery work harder to start the engine. This is often when a battery weakened by summer heat finally starts showing weakness.
That’s why battery problems seem to show up "out of nowhere" when the seasons change.
A few warning signs to watch for:
- Slower than normal cranking
- Dim or flickering lights when starting
- Battery or charging system warning lights
- Needing a jump start
- Having a battery that's 3-5+ years old
Don't wait for the first cold morning to find out if your battery is dying. A quick battery test can give you a much better idea of what shape it's in before winter arrives.
Give us a call to schedule a Complimentary Freedom inspection to keep your peace of mind, regardless of the season.
