OAK HILL, WV (WOAY)- The cold weather can drain your car’s battery by 30-60%, which makes even starting your car a hassle.
Signs that your battery is affected by the winter weather include; slow engine cranking, dim headlights, warning indicator lights, electronic accessory issues, or if your car battery is 3 years or older.
To avoid this, first and foremost, you should make sure your battery is in good condition. Another good tip is to take your car on short drives to help keep the battery active. By doing this, it starts recharging the battery as the car is running.
If you’re able to, it’s recommended to keep your car in a garage to help maintain a warmer temperature for the battery.
