You may think winter is the peak season for battery problems, but actually, hot weather does more to shorten battery life. Even batteries get a little lazy in the summer heat.

The sun’s heat is trapped under the hood, evaporating critical fluids and draining your battery’s power. Heat also speeds the chemical reaction in a battery, causing overcharging which can dramatically shorten battery life. In fact, the Car Care Council reports that operating in warmer climates can shorten the average life of a battery to just 3 ½ years. (Most batteries last between 3-5 years.) If your battery is older, take special care because you may end up baking in a driveway or parking lot when you least expect it.

Of course, AAA Mobile Battery Service is here to help if your battery fails! To help keep your battery operating reliably in any season, have a AAA technician clean the battery cables and determine if your battery is holding a charge - or overcharging due to a faulty voltage regulator or some other problem. One way to make battery inspection, cleaning and checks part of your maintenance routine is to remember your battery every time you have your oil changed.
