Battery Care a Primary Concern for Summer Time Vehicle Owners Says Crown Honda Pinellas Park Dealer

Jun 13, 2013

When you are battling the summer’s high temperatures, make sure your Pinellas Park Honda’s battery gets the proper care it needs. Because the hot sun can have a negative effect on your Honda’s battery, it is important to have your battery and the engine as a whole routinely tested and checked for damage.

Car batteries can overcharge fighting hot temperatures and as a result the life of your battery can be shortened. This can lead to your being stranded on the side of the road when you least expect it. A dead battery can be very frustrating and result in the cost of a tow service to our service center for a new battery. It is better to be proactive than find yourself stuck on the side of the road when temperatures are soaring.

Another maintenance issues surrounding batteries you need to be concerned about is the actually damage high temperatures can case to your battery. The heat generated in the engine combined with the hot sun can cause the fluid in your battery to evaporate overtime. This will lead to serious damage in the structure of your battery. A crack or other damage to the battery is a safety hazard and the battery should be replaced as soon as possible.

Ideally batteries should be maintained on a regular basis but even more so in the summer time. We recommend scheduling regular service appointments so our Pinellas Park Honda service center technicians can make sure the amount of fluids in your battery is at the proper levels and there are no leaks or cracks present. If it is time to have your battery replaced, our service center will ensure a high quality battery is used to ensure the proper functionality of your Honda.

Our technicians will also evaluate the condition of your battery to ensure rust and corrosion hasn’t built up on the connections to the engines. If this occurs the battery won’t be able to properly charge the engine with enough power and you may find yourself stranded.
