At Nissan of Meridian in Meridian, MS, we always want to ensure that our community has good information about maintaining their vehicles. So if you have questions about the battery in your vehicle, stop by and talk to our team members at the dealership so that you can be well-informed about future choices.
Car batteries are affected by the extreme cold when they are neglected. If it is cold outside is vital to maintain the battery because the cold reduces the capacity. It is also more challenging for the battery to turn over the vehicle because the engine oil gets thicker in the cold.
When it is sweltering outside, a battery can die because of evaporation under the hood. Once it gets to a certain degree, the battery fluid can evaporate, and the battery can stop working. Extreme heat can also cause the battery to overcharge and corrode.
