It's summer, which for most means BBQs, swimming pools, frozen treats, and other activities that involve both enjoying the outdoors while also staying cool. But did you know that your car's battery is not much different? Whereas you can take a refreshing dip in a swimming pool or find a nice place with some AC, your car and it's power source can hardly afford the same luxury (we don't recommend trying to cool your car off in a pool).
What can you do about it? While the obvious answer is clearly to keep your vehicle out of direct sunlight and parked in shade and cool areas as often as possible, there are other ways of being proactive, like being familiar with the life expectancy of your battery and knowing how the heat can affect it and when to replace it.
Check out the graphic below to figure out the life expectancy of your car's battery and be sure to stop in with our dealership if you feel you might be needing a new battery soon, because nothing is worse than being stuck out in the heat wit ha dead battery! http://www.sheehyspringfieldvw.com/
