Globatt Battery is a premier product that is designed to keep your vehicle running smoothly during the winter. Driving during the winter can be a troublesome experience for all of us. If the weather doesn’t already put a chill on our mood, then experiencing constant issues with your car will definitely do the job.

You may have experienced some trouble with your vehicle battery before. However, these troubles reach a new level during winter. This is due to the battery rundown as cold weather is more likely to have a bad effect on battery life.

Simply, a vehicle battery is composed of lead-acid chemical solution that converts its chemical energy into electrical energy. At colder temperature, the chemical reaction slows down and takes longer time to generate power. Engine oil thickens at lower temperatures causing resistance to the engine. As a result, the engine requires more power to start and increases the risk of battery rundown.

In this article, we’ve compiled some helpful tips that make sure your vehicle keeps running.

Inspect your battery

Many owners often service their vehicles regularly, but they ignore the battery. It comes to our attention only when we run into problems with our car. You can avoid issues altogether by simply staying prepared, checking your battery life and any other issues with the battery.

Here are key signs to notice that your battery is failing:

  • The headlights or dome lights begin to dim.
  • You can hear a clicking sound when you turn the ignition key.
  • The cranking of the engine is sluggish.
  • The vehicle takes a longer time to start.
  • The battery has a rotten smell or a cracked battery case.

Make sure you check the battery leakage and fluid levels. This helps avoid the hassle and maintain the longevity of vehicle battery leading to a smooth driving experience.

Give your battery a full charge

Your vehicle won’t start off easily if it has not been fully charged. Once the battery is fully charged, it won’t get a freeze until -60°C, while a fully discharged battery could freeze at 0°C. In order to avoid breakdown of the battery, you have to ensure your battery is fully charged.

Keep your battery warm and clean

Just as us humans need to keep warm to fight cold weather, your battery needs to keep warm as well. Try to park your vehicle in a garage or in a closed space away from the cold wind. You can also use a battery cover to protect your vehicle battery.

The battery should be kept clean regularly. Especially the dirt, grease and corrosion at battery terminals adds resistance, resulting in poor electric conduction. You need to keep a battery connection terminal clean and tight so that the electricity passes smoothly.


Prepare Ahead

In case your battery is dead, you can fix it and restart your engine with the help of a jumper cable. Jumper cables are pairs of electric cables that you can use to restart engine; (by connecting the dead battery with another source of power/charged battery). Here is a complete guide to jumpstart your car in case the battery is completely dead.

Another way to prepare ahead is using the right coolant on the engine. The coolant helps to avoid the freezing of engine oil during winter. The right coolant helps to maintain the engine temperature and ensures that the battery avoids freezing. The right recommendation might depend on the type of vehicle, so it’s better to follow owners manual or suggestions from a professional mechanic.

Get the best Globatt battery suitable for your climate

Modern vehicle batteries are durable and come with a warranty. The time to replace your vehicle battery usually depends upon your driving habits, road conditions, and type of vehicle. In general, if your vehicle battery has exceeded warranty, it’s time to choose the best battery for your vehicle.
