Q: When do car batteries fail?

Currently there is no precise way to predict exactly when a battery will fail. However, periodic battery checks can help give warning of impending failure. The trusted battery specialists recommend you have your battery checked at least twice a year. And the best part is, Battery Centre will check your battery for FREE. Find a Battery Centre near you. It’s always a good idea to check your battery before going on a long trip. If you know the battery is old, you may want to consider replacing it as a precaution. Cold weather is known to slow down the chemical reactions that generate electricity in batteries. As a result, older batteries will have more trouble starting vehicles in cold weather. The increased use of headlights, heaters, demisters, windscreen wipers can also increase the load on a battery, lowering the amount of charge available from the alternator to the battery. Hot weather can trigger problems in old batteries as well, especially if the air conditioner is suddenly being used continuously and many short trips are made throughout the day. Modern vehicles with small grille areas often have high under-bonnet temperatures, which can also lead to battery problems. Higher operating temperatures can lead to reduced battery life.
