How to Prepare Your Battery for Winter
Your Volvo is a durable vehicle ready for year-round travel in the Minneapolis area. But that does not exempt your battery from the risks that cold weather brings. Typically, cold weather can cause your battery to age prematurely, especially if your battery is already on its way out. There are a few crucial steps that our team can take to ensure your battery is ready for the winter months:
- Corrosion check: Before the temperature drops, our team will check your battery for any visible signs of corrosion at its connection points. Our team can clean up any corrosion or battery acid they find, ensuring your battery is ready to go for winter.
- Battery test: Our trained technicians could also give your battery a quick test. This will give a clear picture of your battery's lifespan, giving you a sense of whether it's time to replace it before the temperature drops.
- Charge your battery: If it seems that your battery's power is low, our team can charge your battery with a smart charger. This allows your battery to get a full charge, which it might not get on a regular basis. This way, you can rest assured your battery won't die while you're out and about in the Minneapolis area.
