\ud83e\udd76<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/><img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>But your battery died in July.<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/><img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>NEW BLOG POST \u2014 Week 3 of The Independence Issue:<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/><img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>HEAT, NOT COLD, IS WHAT KILLS CAR BATTERIES IN SACRAMENTO<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/><img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>The counterintuitive science that surprises almost everyone:<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/><img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>\u2699\ufe0f Car batteries are chemical devices. Chemical reactions roughly double their rate of wear for every 18\u00b0F above the ideal 77\u00b0F (this is the Arrhenius principle). Under-hood temps in Sacramento summer regularly hit 150\u2013180\u00b0F. Do the math on how fast your battery is aging.<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/><img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>\ud83d\udcca The data that proves it:<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>\u2022 Sacramento \/ Phoenix \/ Vegas: 30\u201336 months average battery life<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>\u2022 Portland \/ Seattle \/ Boston: 48\u201358 months average<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>\u2022 Same battery. Same manufacturer. Different climate.<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/><img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>\ud83d\udd0d Six warning signs your battery is dying:<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>1. Slower engine crank than usual<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>2. Dashboard lights dim during startup<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>3. Clock or radio presets reset<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>4. Battery warning light on dash<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>5. Blue-green corrosion on terminals<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>6. Rotten-egg smell (\ud83d\udea8 replace immediately)<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/><img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>\ud83d\udd0b The voltage thresholds (multimeter at rest):<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>\u2022 12.6V+ = Healthy<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>\u2022 12.4\u201312.6V = Watch<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>\u2022 12.0\u201312.4V = Weak<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>\u2022 &lt;12.0V = Failing (replace this week)<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/><img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f The right analogy: &quot;Heat is termites. Cold is the earthquake.&quot; Termites destroy the house all summer without you noticing. The winter earthquake finally brings it down \u2014 but the wood was already rotten.<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/><img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>\ud83d\udcac Come get a free battery test at Rippers. Two minutes with our digital analyzer tells you exactly where you stand. If your battery is 3+ years old and you live in Sacramento, this is worth doing before August.<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/><img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>\ud83d\udcd6 Full article + testing guide:
