The battery is the heart of the car as its condition depends on its starting. Its good maintenance, with regular checks, is imperative to be able to start our vehicle without problems. A key factor that affects both its operation and its lifespan is the temperature, especially the low winter temperatures. But what exactly does this mean and what do we need to know?

CONVENTIONAL CAR BATTERIES

All we need to do is "listen" to our vehicle. If our car is having trouble starting, the battery may be in a low state of charge and needs to be replaced. In case the vehicle does not start but makes some noises, we check the terminals and cables.

ELECTRIC CARS

In electric cars, the relationship between battery and weather is inextricably linked. This is because the battery capacity of an electric car is significantly reduced both in the low temperatures of winter and in the high temperatures encountered in summer.
