Hot weather is hard on car batteries. Many drivers in Brady, TX know that summer heat can cause batteries to fail faster than cold weather. The high temperatures speed up chemical reactions inside the battery, which leads to faster wear and shorter battery life.
There are a few signs that your battery might be failing. If your engine cranks slowly when you start your car, this is a common warning sign. You may also notice dim headlights or dashboard lights. Another sign is a swollen or bloated battery case. Most batteries last about three to five years, so if yours is getting old, it may be time for a replacement.
At Solana Motors, our service team can test your battery and let you know if it needs to be replaced before it leaves you stranded. Visit us at 2110 S. Bridge St or schedule service online today to keep your car running smoothly through the summer months.
