Cold weather can be tough on car batteries, leaving many drivers stranded with a vehicle that won’t start. For Okotoks drivers, understanding how to safely handle a dead battery and knowing who to call for help can save time, stress, and potential damage to your vehicle. Sky Line Tow Trucks provides 24/7 professional battery boost and jump start services to ensure you get back on the road safely.
Why Batteries Fail in Cold Weather
Cold temperatures reduce a battery’s ability to hold a charge and increase the power needed to start the engine. Common reasons a battery dies in winter include:
- Thickened engine oil increasing resistance
- Reduced chemical reactions inside the battery
- Leaving lights or electronics on
- Old or weak battery
Being aware of these factors helps you prevent breakdowns and prepares you for quick action if your battery dies.
Tips for Boosting a Dead Battery Safely
While calling a professional is recommended, here are some tips for safely handling a dead battery:
- Use Proper Equipment: Only use quality jumper cables or a professional jump starter.
- Check Connections: Ensure battery terminals are clean and connections are tight.
- Follow the Correct Sequence: Connect positive terminals first, then negative, and remove in reverse order.
- Avoid Engine Damage: Do not attempt repeated jump starts if the battery or alternator is failing.
