Summer heat is not kind to your car battery. When the weather gets hot in Knoxville, the temperature under your hood can climb even higher. This extra heat causes the fluid inside your battery to dry out. Once that happens, the internal parts start to break down. Many drivers do not realize that extreme heat causes more battery problems than cold weather does. The damage often starts in summer but shows up later when cooler months arrive.

There are a few warning signs to watch for. Slow engine cranking is one of the most common signals that something is wrong. Dim headlights and dashboard lights that flicker can also mean your battery is getting weak. If your battery is more than three years old, it is smart to have it checked before the hottest part of summer arrives in Tennessee.
