Truck Or Bus Winter Battery Test

Cold Weather Means Vehicle Battery Tests More Beneficial Cold weather is especially hard on Car, Van, Truck, Bus & Coach batteries. According to AAA's Automotive Research Center, at 0°F, a car's battery loses about 60 percent of its strength, during cold temperatures starting an engine can take up to twice as much current as needed under normal conditions. Cold weather inhibits the chemical reaction necessary to make a battery work, which is often the reason you may have trouble starting a vehicle on a cold winter morning! Cold weather together with a lack of vehicle usage, especially over the festive period, every year leads to high numbers of assistance call outs. During the cold winter months, the last thing is a breakdown due to vehicle battery problems. A vehicle battery’s ability to charge is also reduced in the cold weather. Charge and test is the recommendation for all garages while service or MOT-ing vehicles this winter. Charging batteries will replace the lost capacity that modern day gadgets use, a vehicles recharging circuit will only replace the lost capacity through driving. Sat navs, mobiles phones and DVDs for example could slowly discharge a battery and cause a flat battery breakdown. aide automotive have been marketing the Midtronics Battery Tester for over 10 years, with some great customer response over this period the Midtronics range offer ease of use and accurate diagnose compared to other cheaper models. aide automotive have a range of new and used Midtronics Testers, with some used testers in perfect condition offering a good saving from a new tester.
