Unexpected battery discharge in winter is a common problem for many car enthusiasts. Cold weather increases the density of the electrolyte and reduces the starting current, affecting even new batteries. However, there are practical solutions to this problem:
If the winter temperature remains above ten degrees, instead of removing the battery, you can disconnect one terminal from the vehicle’s on-board network. This significantly reduces battery consumption.
When the temperature drops below ten degrees, you may need to remove the battery and temporarily store it in a warmer place.
To prevent rapid battery discharge, check the electrolyte level regularly. A low level may indicate overcharging, possibly due to a faulty charger or alternator, which can lead to imminent battery failure. Adequate electrolyte levels are critical to proper battery function in cold weather.
Undercharging the battery in winter can lead to freezing of the electrolyte, which can lead to damage to the battery case and complete failure.
When storing a battery in winter, remember that it is not necessary to drain the electrolyte from the cells. Instead, check the battery electrolyte level before storing. If the level is low, add distilled water to the battery and charge it to maximum capacity using a quality charger. You may want to consider using battery chargers to effectively charge your battery during the winter months.
