How to Prepare a Car Battery for Winter

What happens to your car battery during winter:

  • The oil viscosity increases or thickens which increases the strain on the battery during cranking or when an engine is started.
  • The battery’s Cold Cranking Amps (the ability of a battery to start an engine) is reduced during winter.

The best way to remedy that is to get a higher CCA (cold Cranking Amp) rated battery as well as to test your battery’s CCA level at your regular car repair shop to have your battery tested.
