BATTERY Care in Winter

Winter days are short and often
stormy; winter nights are long and
dark. In winter you use your lights
more. The engine is cold, the oil
is stiff. and carburetion Is slow. 1t
is harder to crank the motor and it
takes longer.
You also run your car at slower
speeds and for short distances only.
