Cold winter mornings can be hard on your car — especially the battery! ❄️ A weak battery is one of the top reasons cars fail to start in winter. With a few simple maintenance steps, you can ensure your car runs smoothly throughout the cold season.
🔋 1. Test Your Battery Health
Before winter starts, get your battery tested by a mechanic or with a multimeter.
✅ A good battery should show 12.6 volts or higher when fully charged.
🔌 2. Keep the Terminals Clean
Corrosion on terminals can block power flow.
🧽 Clean them with a soft brush or dry cloth and apply petroleum jelly to protect against rust.
🚗 3. Start the Engine Regularly
If you don’t drive daily, start your car for 5–10 minutes every morning.
💡 This helps recharge the battery and keeps it active.
💧 4. Check Battery Water Level
For non-sealed batteries, ensure that the electrolyte level is above the plates.
Always top up with distilled water — never tap water!
💡 5. Avoid Power Drain
Turn off lights, heaters, and audio systems when the engine is off.
🔋 Small habits can prevent unnecessary battery drain in cold weather.
🧰 6. Keep Jumper Cables Handy
Always keep jumper cables in your car — just in case you need a quick start on a freezing morning.
✅ Faysal Motors Tip
If your car battery is over 2 years old, it’s wise to replace it before winter. A small investment now can save you from being stranded later!
