Winter Driving Tip #2 - Check Your Battery When the temperature drops, so does battery power. For gasoline-powered engines, be aware that it takes more battery power to start your vehicle in cold weather than in warm. For electric and hybrid vehicles, the driving range is reduced and the battery systems work better after they warm up. Make sure your battery is up to the challenges of winter by: Having your mechanic check your battery for sufficient voltage; Having the charging system and belts inspected; Replacing the battery or making system repairs, including simple things like tightening the battery cable connections; Making sure to keep fresh gasoline in an electric vehicle, to support the gasoline system.
