Summer months Bring summer heat!

It seems that on average a battery's life can range between 3 to 5 years, but this heavily depends on the care and maintenance through out it's life span. In order to maximize the life span ignoring the summer months is not an option.

Through out the summer, the constant heat has the ability to stress and cook batteries. This is especially important to all my native Floridians, [and other warm weather folks]. Summer temperatures usually range from 90*-104* degrees, but adding engine heat that is tramped under and metal hood, temperature surrounding your car battery can be as high as 140* degrees.


Most people believe that winter is the time of year the most strain is on the battery but what most do not realize is heat evaporates the fluid within the battery aging it and speeding up the corrosion process. Summer's heat kill batteries 30% faster then winter's cold temperature. AcDelco mentioned, batteries in Florida have a life span of 33 months unlike our cold weather friends in Michigan where their batteries are lasting 50 months!

So, instead of running the risk of being stranded in the summer months, The time of year where AAA receives the most calls for jumps, or towing because of a failed battery, Prepare to purchase a new battery during the spring!



TIPS:

Ways to extend battery life

• test your battery twice a year


• inspect for any physical damage


• check for corrosion, clean if present


• Don't ignore warning signs!!

Warning signs to look for:

• if the car is rather old it can cause a strain on the battery


• traveling short distances can shorten life


• starting and stopping constantly


• sometimes dimming headlights or interior lights may be a cause for concern


• if the battery is over 3 years old GET IT TESTED!


• if it is over 4 years old.... REPLACE

Why Use Odyssey Drycell Batteries?

Guaranteed longer service life- With a twelve year design life and a six-to-ten year service life, Odyssey batteries save you time and money because you do not have to replace the battery as often. Odyssey batteries are warranted against factory defects for two full years in Powersports or three full years in automotive, commercial and heavy-duty marine.

Superior cranking and fast charge capability- The 5 second cranking power of Odyssey batteries is double to triple that of equally sized conventional batteries, even when the temperature is as low as -40 degrees C. Also, with simple constant voltage charging (alternator or independent charger), there is no limitation on the inrush current, so the user is assured of fast charge recovery.

Mounting flexibility- The Odyssey battery may be installed on its sides at any angle without sacrificing any performance attributes. There is no fear of any acid spillage as Odyssey batteries recycle the internal gas during operation or charging.

Superior vibration resistance- Odyssey batteries are of military grade and have endured rigours testes that demonstrate their overall ruggedness and exceptional tolerance of mechanical abuse.

Ready out of the box- Odyssey batteries are shipped fully charged. If Odyssey's voltage is 12.65V or greater simply install the battery in your vehicle and you are ready to go! If below 12.65V, boost charge following the instructions in the Odyssey Owner's Manual.

Worry-free shipping- The sealed design of the Odyssey battery eliminates the need for a acid vent tube; eliminating the fear of acid burns or damage to expensive chrome or paint. Owing to the Drycell design, the US Department of Transportation (US DOT) has classified the Odyssey battery as a dry battery, so it may be shipped worry-free by UPS/Federal Express or by air.

Longer storage life- Unlike conventional batteries that need to be recharged every six to twelve weeks the Odyssey battery, when fully charged, can be stored for up to 2 years at 25 degrees C (77 degrees F).
