Don't let a flat battery ruin your morning.
A drop in temperature can make starting a challenge for older batteries.
Even though Australian winters are mild, a cold snap will still slow down the chemical reactions that batteries need to generate power. If you've ever experienced a 'failure to launch' when you can't be late for work, you know exactly what we're talking about. Look out for these signs of a faulty battery:
- • Slow engine starts
- • Dim or flickering headlights
- • Dashboard warning light on
• Needing a jump start
Our DIY winter battery check takes five minutes and will help reduce the risk of unexpected delays. Already know you need a new battery? Lube Mobile can get one fitted at your home, workplace or wherever your car is now.
DIY Winter Battery Checklist
Don't wait until you're stranded. Take 5 minutes to check your battery now.
How old is your Battery?
Most car batteries last 3–5 years, depending on usage, climate and maintenance. Check the date on your battery's manufacturer label and if yours is nearing the end of its lifespan, winter is a great time to have it tested and replaced.
Inspect your Terminals
Battery terminal corrosion is caused by the release of battery acid and gases over time. Inspect your terminals for white, blue, or green deposits and clean them by first disconnecting and removing the battery and then mixing baking soda in warm water to remove any build up.
Secure your unit!
A vibrating battery will reduce its overall longevity. Ensure yours is securely fastened by checking the clamps and hold-downs. A secure battery will help maintain reliable electrical connection in winter and help to reduce cold-weather starting issues.
