Your battery plays a very important part in keeping your motor on the road. There is nothing worse than jumping in your car and turning the key only to find your battery has not got enough power to start your car. This Winter your battery will be exposed to the freezing conditions which can drain the strength overnight. Your batteries main purpose is to start your car or van after that the alternator should power everything whilst also putting a charge back into your battery. Loose terminals can drain your battery, have alook now and check that the terminals to your battery are tight, you should not be able to move the terminals with your hands. Also have a look by following the black earth terminal to where it is fixed to your cars body or engine to ensure this is tight too.
If you are in any doubt call into our Bromley branch and have your battery and alternator checked free of charge.
