Don't let the rain cause car battery drain

Wet weather and car batteries

So the ‘big wet’ has found us again. We’ve seen quite a few flooded roads and waterways on our way to our Workshop in Marcoola this morning. There’s nothing like wet (or cold) weather to expose a battery that is near the end of its life. Sometimes it’s just that additional bit of effort required that your old or worn out battery can’t quite manage.  We’ve all been there at some stage, there is no convenient moment for your car to not start. Whether you are sitting in the driveway at home, at the shops or picking up the kids from school, the moment your car battery decides it’s given all that it can, you’re going nowhere.  Often people will call for roadside assistance to get a jump start. They may even put the battery on charge at home.  But whilst these may well get you going, you’ve probably missed the warning sign that might have saved you from even more inconvenience soon enough.
