In fact, freezing temperatures can drain a car battery anywhere from 30% to 60%. Oppositely, extreme heat and hot temperatures can also cause parasitic draw in a battery. Car batteries use an electrochemical reaction to send power signals to the terminal ends. When temperatures drop, this electrochemical reaction is significantly slowed. As a result, your car battery can die. Fortunately, a handy set of jumper cables will solve this problem on the go. This brings us to our next important car battery fact that you should know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" id=\"jumper-cables-can-fix-a-dead-battery\">Jumper Cables Can Fix a Dead Battery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All drivers are strongly encouraged to keep an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoresindy.com\/blog\/do-you-have-a-roadside-emergency-kit-in-your-car\/\">emergency roadside assistance kit<\/a> inside of their vehicle at all times. Part of this emergency roadside kit should be a quality set of jumper cables. Jumper cables are used to jump start a dead car battery. All you need is another car and their engine power to get the job done. Refer to your owner\u2019s manual for instructions on how to jump start the car battery or ask your trusted mechanic for a quick lesson next time you take your car in for routine service. It is something simple and even a teenager can do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" id=\"car-batteries-can-be-recycled\">Car Batteries Can Be Recycled<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Car batteries must be replaced every 3 to 4 years, so it is inevitable that you will be faced with the duty at some point in your driving career. But when the time comes to replace your old car battery with a new one, do not just toss your old one in the trash. Car batteries can be, and should always be, recycled. Simply contact your local scrap metal recycling center or auto salvage yard, and they will give you instructions on how to complete the process. They will even pay you cash for the scrap metal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Are you stuck in a parking lot or on the side of the road with a dead car battery?
