Finnish Winter Considerations
Finnish winters place extreme demands on batteries. Cold temperatures reduce battery capacity by 30-50%. A battery that starts easily in summer may fail at -20°C.
We recommend battery testing before winter every year, especially for batteries over 3 years old. Replacing a weak battery in autumn is far better than emergency replacement in freezing conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long do car batteries last?
Typical battery life is 4-6 years in Finnish climate. Cold winters and short trips reduce battery life. We recommend testing batteries over 3 years old annually before winter.
2. Why won't my car start in cold weather?
Cold reduces battery capacity while increasing starting power needed. Weak batteries that work in summer fail in cold. Other causes include faulty starters, alternators, or fuel systems. See our starting problems guide.
3. Can you test my battery for free?
Yes, we provide complimentary battery testing. Testing takes a few minutes and provides battery health, charge level, and expected remaining life.
4. Do you recycle old batteries?
Yes, we recycle all batteries according to EU regulations through certified recycling partners. Battery recycling is included in our replacement service.
