Winter is just around the corner, and we’ve got some nifty advice from the team over at CTEK. They’ve got the lowdown on keeping your car battery in tip-top shape for a worry-free winter drive.
So, picture this: it’s freezing cold, and your battery is working overtime, but your alternator is only giving it about 60% of the love it needs. That means your engine is burning extra fuel and losing horsepower. Not cool, right?
Mark Poole, the Sales Manager at CTEK, says regular charging with a reliable battery charger is the secret sauce for winter months. It’s not just about avoiding breakdowns; it’s about saving you money and extending your battery life by up to three times! Now, that’s what I call a smart move for a stress-free winter drive.
Mark also points out that summer heat might’ve put a strain on your battery, and the real drama unfolds when the cold weather hits. More power is needed to kickstart your car, and that’s where regular charging comes to the rescue.
Ever wondered why your ‘stop/start’ feature isn’t playing nice lately? Well, it might be your battery crying for attention. Short trips and constant use of car accessories can drain it, especially if you’re using the ‘stop/start’ function. The solution?
Don’t procrastinate! Get that battery in shape before the mercury drops. It takes 2.5 times more power to start a cold engine, so give your four-wheeled friend some pre-winter TLC. No one likes surprises when hitting the road, right?
Now, charging your battery just got a whole lot simpler with the CTEK CS ONE. It packs APTO™ (Adaptive Charging) technology, making it the easiest charger you’ll ever use.
