The days are getting shorter, temperatures are dropping, and according to Tiger Wheel & Tyre it’;s time to give your car battery the old pre-winter once over.
“Much like humans, car batteries aren’;t especially enthusiastic about getting started in the cold. The exercise is often accompanied by much groaning and if you’;re lucky, after a few failed attempts you might enjoy success. But if you’;ve ever been stranded in the cold with a dead car battery, you’;ll need no encouragement to bring your vehicle to Tiger Wheel & Tyre and have your battery tested,” said Group Marketing Executive Joe du Plooy.
It bears mentioning that even a relatively new car battery can die prematurely if you don’;t actively take measures to extend its life. Here are some guidelines from Tiger Wheel & Tyre to extend your battery’;s life this winter:
• If you go away for any length of time, disconnect the battery and attach it to a trickle charger or arrange to have someone come over regularly to start and run your car for several minutes at a time.
• Keep in mind certain vehicle tracking devices draw power from your car battery and will drain it completely if the battery isn’;t allowed to recharge.
• Cut down on short trips. Frequent trips of less than 20 minutes don’;t give your battery enough time to charge and drain it faster.
• Park inside the garage where it’;s warmer, to protect the battery from extreme cold which shortens its lifespan.
Kickstart winter with a free battery test from Tiger Wheel & Tyre, because you know that if it is going to die it will happen on a Sunday morning at 2 AM,” concluded du Plooy.
