Over the past couple of years, during the Covid pandemic, Tow Force 1 has seen more and more cars experience drained batteries. This is because people are driving less than before – both due to the lockdowns and due to the changes the lockdowns made to our way of living. In the past we’d get in our cars to do all our shopping, today we can get all sorts of services delivered to the door. Also, many workplaces have realized that employees can work just as well from home, so many people aren’t driving to the office every day. While all of this might improve our way of life, there is a downside, which is that by letting our cars sit parked for so long batteries are being drained.
If you aren’t using your car, it’s important to remember to start it and let it run for a while every couple of days so the battery doesn’t drain. But, if you do try to start your car and realize that the battery has drained, there’s no need to worry, because Tow Force 1 is here to help you in Long Beach, CA.
Why Is My Car Battery Dead?
First of all, don’t panic – your car battery might be drained but we will probably be able to get it running for you. Tow Force 1 has a team of experts who are always able to help.
As mentioned, one of the reasons for car batteries draining is letting the car sit for days or weeks without starting it.
Your car battery may also go flat if you have a problem with the electronics in your car. A common reason that car batteries drain is that some sort of electronic component, for example the car lights or radio, are left on overnight.
Your car battery might have reached the end of its life – and in that case, you will need to have the battery replaced. Car batteries last from three to five years. The life expectancy of a car battery depends of a few factors, like how often you drive the car, the car’s mechanical condition, the weather (while batteries in colder climates typically last longer than those in warmer ones, the cold may also freeze the battery in some cases), and driving habits.
