The Importance of Car Battery Service 

It’s easy to rely on your car’s battery. It helps you get everywhere you need to go and, for the most part, always works just fine. However, your car battery is more finicky than you may realize. In fact, your battery may be worn down without you even knowing it, until one day, it just stops working. That’s why we always encourage routine car battery service at Mac Haik Ford Lincoln, so you never have to deal with a dead car battery out on the road.  

 

Causes of Battery Wear and Care Tips 

 

One of the biggest culprits of battery wear is the weather. You may realize that your car battery has trouble starting when it’s cold. The chemical reactions in your battery can be slowed with cold temperatures, which can make your vehicle slow or impossible to start. On the flip side, extremely hot days can also have a negative effect on your battery as well. Hot temperatures force your battery to work harder, which can drain it faster.  

 

Contrary to what you think, you can actually help preserve your battery by using it more. If you are continuously taking short drives or you don’t drive often at all, you aren’t allowing your battery to fully charge, which can eventually hinder its performance. That’s why it’s important to occasionally take your vehicle out for a good, long cruise.
