Hot weather conditions put stress on car batteries. In the summer, Dubai temperatures can soar above 45 degrees Celsius. Such high temperatures can cause harm to the car battery unless proper care is provided from time to time.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are the reasons why Dubai’s hot weather may cause problems for your car battery:<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Evaporation: <\/b>Battery fluids can evaporate quickly when internal temperature reaches 140 Celsius. Evaporation of fluids can cause damage to components.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Overcharging: <\/b>Voltage regulators inside the car battery can malfunction under extreme heat conditions. Overcharging causes damage to the battery.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • \u00a0<\/span>Corrosion: <\/b>Lead plates can corrode faster under extreme heat conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Battery Care<\/b><\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Regular Inspection:<\/b> In extreme weather conditions, it is important to have regular battery inspections. Technicians will check the fluid levels, corrosion of terminals, and mounting of batteries on the tray.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Park in Shade:<\/b> To avoid exposure to extreme heat, park the car in shade. Car cover can be used to protect the vehicle from high atmospheric temperatures.\u00a0 This technique reduces the evaporation rate of battery fluid.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Terminals and Circuits: <\/b>The terminals have to be corrosion-free, and wiring has to be proper to ensure a smooth flow of electric current. Corroded terminals can reduce the efficiency of the battery.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Avoid Short Trips: <\/b>If the car remains idle for a long time or the number of long trips is less, the battery may not charge to its full potential. This procedure causes the charge to drain out. Short trips do not enable the battery to have enough time to charge.<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. Intelligent Use:<\/b> Never use battery power to run the stereo, headlights, and lamps when the engine is off.<\/span><\/li>\n
    6. Battery Replacement: <\/b>Batteries usually don’t last beyond five years depending on the service and maintenance done. If the battery is unable to retain voltage, or terminals are corroded, and beyond repair, it is better to buy a new battery.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      When the battery malfunctions, jump-starting is an option but frequent jump-starting is not good for the engine as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      In short, with a little care and effort, a car battery can provide trouble-free performance for up to 5 years. <\/span>
