Why Did My Car Battery Die?
Sometimes our operators get asked: Why did my car battery die? It’s a fair question and one we are happy to answer. A car battery is a product with a limited life expectancy, similar to other automotive parts. As its ability to hold a charge wanes, you may notice it takes multiple turns of the ignition for the engine to power up. We recommend having an auto mechanic inspect the expiration date and replace the unit if it is near or beyond its expiration date. These are additional reasons why your car battery may have died unexpectedly.
Extreme Cold
The liquid elements housed inside an automobile battery function best when the outdoor temperature is approximately 80 degrees. Anytime it’s hotter than that, battery fluids are prone to evaporation. When the frigid Minnesota and Iowa winters arrive, freezing temperatures negatively impact the ability of the liquids and components to move and store energy.
Infrequent use
The charge in any automobile battery will naturally wane over time. To maintain maximum power, batteries must be recharged by running the engine, allowing the alternator to send an electric charge to the battery. If you have a secondary vehicle or seasonally used motorhome that hasn’t been driven in a while, the battery’s ability to start the engine diminishes over time.
Failure to Keep the Battery Clean
Automobile batteries produce a greenish acid that accumulates on the terminals and cables. A build-up of this acid impedes the free flow of energy from the battery to the starter and other items. Battery acid can also corrode the wires, preventing energy from reaching the engine. Having your car battery serviced and cleaned during routine checkups and oil changes.
