HOW THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AFFECTS YOUR CAR BATTERY

When you’re using your car at different times of the year or leave it parked outside, it can be easy to forget that the car battery can suffer from premature wear. Although car batteries are built to last an average of three to four years, they can die a lot quicker if they’re exposed to extreme temperatures. At Koons White Marsh Chevrolet, we want to keep our customers informed about how the seasons have an impact on this car part.

When the heat is present in the summer, there’s a higher risk of corrosion forming on the battery, which can prevent it from having a proper charge. In the winter, the battery also suffers from damage and can even die within minutes of being exposed to low temperatures. You may even notice the engine or lights fail to turn on, requiring the part to be replaced.
