As the State College, PA winter sets in, it is important to be mindful of the systems in your Jeep® SUV that are sensitive to the cold weather. One of those Jeep parts is the battery. Cold temperatures can significantly impact battery performance, leading to slow starts, decreased lifespan, and even failure. To prevent these issues, we recommend getting Jeep winter battery service here at Blaise Alexander Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of State College.
Winter’s Effect on Car Batteries
First, the frigid temperatures of winter take a toll on car batteries because they slow down the chemical reactions within the battery that produce electricity. This means that there is less power available to start your engine. Also, cold weather has the effect of making engine oil thicker. This then requires more power from the battery to turn over the engine. Finally, you rely on your car’s battery more in the winter for tasks like heating, defrosting, and using heated seats, which puts more strain on it.
