One of the main components of your car is the battery, which is responsible for powering your vehicle and making it turn on each day when you need to get around. In extreme temperatures, you're putting your car battery at risk of damage and premature wear that can make your vehicle inoperable. At Land Rover of Tacoma in Fife, WA, there are a few facts we teach our customers to ensure their battery lasts longer.
High temperatures can cause the battery to form rust on some of the parts, which affects the charge and longevity of the part. You may also notice it takes a few tries to turn your engine on when you need to drive the vehicle.
In low temperatures, the battery can immediately die and won't allow the vehicle to turn on at any time.
