Did you know?
Warm temperatures are harder on batteries than cold weather. This extra heat can come from stop-and-go traffic on hot pavement, the draw of your air conditioner or an engine that faces a lot of stress. You’re simply more likely to notice the problem on cold days when you may need twice as much voltage to start the engine!
When selecting a new battery, choose one that:
- Meets or exceeds the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating recommended in your vehicle owner’s manual.
- Will be properly held down in the battery tray. A proper fit will prevent damaging vibration.
- Offers the largest-possible capacity if you drive in the extreme cold. A battery will lose about 40% of its cranking power in the drop from 27ºC to -18ºC, even if it’s fully charged.
- Has a sufficient Reserve Capacity (RC), which indicates how long accessories can run while leaving enough power to start the engine.
A scan tool is an electronic tool we use to interface with, diagnose, and even reprogram your vehicle’s control modules.
