In winter, the battery is under particularly heavy load. In addition, at low temperatures, the battery only provides a portion of the power it has at positive temperatures when starting the engine. Therefore, we recommend checking the battery before the winter season and recharging it if necessary.
If the car is not used for several weeks during very severe frosts, the battery should be removed and stored in a heated room so that it does not freeze and, as a result, is not destroyed.
