FIRST TIME VISITOR?
Your car’s 12-volt battery is a crucial component that provides the power needed to start your engine, run electronics, and keep your vehicle operating reliably. However, in Alaska’s extreme cold temperatures, battery life expectancy is much shorter than in warmer climates. At A&A The Shop, we’ve helped countless drivers deal with dead or failing batteries, especially during the harsh winter months. Here’s what you need to know about car battery replacement and cold-weather performance.
