🚗🔋 Got the post-holiday blues? The RAC’s here with a quick heads-up to keep your New Year running smoothly!
It might be ‘back to reality day’ but let’s not start it off with car trouble. After sitting idle over the festive break, your vehicle’s battery might be feeling a little worse for wear. Especially in this chilly weather, a flat battery can really put a dent in your plans – whether you’re rolling in a traditional petrol car or an electric vehicle.
RAC’s top tip? Give your car a good spin to recharge and keep everything ticking over. And here’s how you can avoid waking up to the dreaded ‘flat battery blues’:
1️⃣ Park in a garage if you can – it keeps the cold at bay!
2️⃣ Turn everything off after your drive – lights, heaters, dashcams, and more.
3️⃣ Keep battery connections tight and corrosion-free – a little maintenance goes a long way.
4️⃣ If your battery’s over four years old, it’s worth testing it out.
5️⃣ Get out there for a proper drive before you truly need it – give that battery and engine a warm-up session!
So, start off 2026 without a hitch by showing your car some love today. Safe travels, everyone! 🚙💨
