EricRoberts‘s insight:
Give your car battery a winter check
As we all know winter is just around the corner here in the Northern hemisphere. The weather is turning colder at night and this will affect the performance of your car battery. To keep you car battery lasting longer there are one or two things that you can do.
If your van battery has the old-type screw tops, then you can inspect the level of acid in your battery, With Van Battery Care, this can be checked and remedied.
If this is something that you have to do at frequent intervals,
then it means that the battery is boiling and could have a faulty alternator. You should top up the battery with distilled water and recheck it a few days later to see if the level has dropped again. If the level has dropped, then you should get your alternator checked at a good garage.
If are reading this in the UK and you do not know of a good garage, then look up the nearest independent garage in your area, they have safeguards to protect you the customer and a fair price policy, but more than that they can be trusted.
Also, another Van Battery Care tip
Of course, is to look out for white coloured powder on the top of the battery. This indicates a leak around the terminals, the white powder is dried battery acid. You can clean it off using a cup full of warm water. But if it is a recurring problem. So, it means that the battery is on its way out.Needing replacing! Before it lets you down, on your deliveries. It is a good idea to always keep a Car Battery Charger and a 12V Voltmeter,to hand. As it may just keep you going for a few more winter days. Of course, until you can buy Cheap Car batteries Online.
This is about the limit that you can go to check
over your battery and look after it. After all, as I have said, the last thing you want is for the battery to let you down when you
least expect it and having to be towed to the nearest garage to have it seen to, and paying over the odds because you are stranded. That is if they have a battery to fit your car, you may have to wait another day if they have to order a new battery.
