Cayenne here, and I have a quick question for you. Which is tougher on a vehicle's battery, the heat or the cold? Believe it or not, it's the heat. Think about it. The battery often sits in the engine compartment next to that motor, generating lots of heat. That can accelerate corrosion in the battery and may even cause water in it to evaporate. That will weaken your battery's cranking power and shorten its life span.
Here are a few suggestions for taking care of your battery. It's a good idea to have it checked out to see what shape it's in. Your vehicle service facility has diagnostic equipment that can evaluate its condition. That can help you know how long you can expect it to last before replacing it. At the same time, you should have your charging system evaluated. If your battery is not getting charged correctly, it can be in great shape but not very useful when starting your vehicle. A technician will also check the cable connections to ensure they are free of corrosion and tight.
Keep in mind that a vehicle battery can explode if it is close to an electrical spark under certain conditions. This is why it is safe to have a qualified, trained technician do the work.
Your battery is essential in both hot and cold weather. Ensure it's always up to the job when starting your vehicle.
I leave you with my heat quote for the week,
"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
