Battery Check Up

Low temperatures can negatively impact car batteries, causing starting difficulties and leaving drivers stranded. To avoid such problems, Garage 135 offers Free Driveway Car Battery testing at any time. Our comprehensive assessment readies your vehicle for the upcoming cold weather, ensuring its reliability and safety.

How Cold Temperatures challenge Batteries?

Cold temperatures can affect the chemical reactions within a car battery, resulting in reduced power retention and delivery capabilities. Even a battery that works efficiently in warm conditions can falter in supplying the required energy to start a car in colder temperatures. This drop in performance can speed up wear and tear, which may lead to sudden battery failure.

Inspection Checklist

At Garage 135, our pre-winter battery check ups includes a review of several critical elements to assess your battery's condition and confirm your vehicle's dependability:

  1. Battery Voltage and Charge: Testing the battery's charge retention capability, a crucial health metric.
  2. Battery Terminals and Cables: Checking for any corrosion or damage that could impair electrical conduction.
  3. Battery Case Condition: Inspecting for any physical damage or leakage that could influence performance.
  4. Battery Age: Considering the natural decline in a battery's efficiency over time to estimate its remaining service life.
