Frequently asked questions
How long does a car battery last in Alberta?
Three to five years is typical in Alberta, the Alberta Motor Association (AMA) says, and from the three-year mark it advises having the battery tested regularly.
Why won't my car start in the cold?
Most often a battery that has lost cranking capacity. A failing starter, poor fuel delivery or a seized engine are other possibilities worth ruling out.
Do I need a block heater?
For an Alberta winter, yes: the Alberta Motor Association (AMA) recommends plugging in a block heater once it is −15 °C or colder, which eases the strain on the battery and helps a cold engine turn over.
What is a parasitic drain?
A circuit still drawing current with the ignition off, flattening the battery overnight. Finding it requires metered testing of each circuit in turn.
