Battery Trouble on a Cold Tassie Morning?
If your car’s dragging its heels on a frosty Brighton morning, don’t blame the cold just yet—your battery might be calling it quits. And with Tassie winters being as crisp as they come, a weak battery often picks the worst moment to let go.
At Brighton Tyre & Auto Centre, we know what Tassie conditions can do to your vehicle. From morning school runs to weekend road trips up the Midlands Highway, we make sure your battery isn’t the reason you’re stuck in the driveway. Our team offers quick, honest battery testing and reliable replacements to keep you moving with confidence.
Why Tassie Weather is Tough on Your Battery
Tasmania’s colder climate, especially through the Derwent Valley and surrounds, is tough on batteries. As the temperature drops, so does your battery’s output—just when your engine needs more power to start. Add in previous summer heat damage or a battery nearing the end of its life, and winter often becomes the breaking point.
How to Know When It’s Time for a Battery Check
Don’t wait for it to go completely flat. Here are the signs your battery might need replacing:
- The engine turns over slowly when starting
- Headlights or interior lights seem dimmer than usual
- A warning light appears on the dash
- Central locking, windows, or radio acting up
- You’ve needed a jump-start recently
- Car struggles more on cold mornings
- Battery is over 3 years old or hasn’t been checked in a while
