Calgary winters
Why Do Batteries Die More in Calgary Winters?
Cold weather slows the chemical reaction inside a battery and makes the engine harder to turn over. Older batteries are more likely to fail in extreme cold.
Short trips, leaving lights on and a failing alternator also drain batteries.
Tip: have your battery tested before winter sets in.
After the jump: what next?
Drive for at least 20–30 minutes if possible, and have the battery and alternator tested soon. If it dies again, the battery or charging system likely needs replacement.
Can a jump-start damage my car?
Done properly, no. Modern vehicles have sensitive electronics, so professional equipment and the correct connection order matter — a good reason to call a trained technician.
