Car battery life in Jamaica's heat
Heat, not cold, is what kills car batteries. In Jamaica, two to three years is typical.
Signs it's dying
- Slow cranking in the morning
- Battery light flickering
- Swollen battery case
- Electrical oddities
“Not sure what's wrong? Send us a short video on WhatsApp and we'll tell you if it can wait or needs attention now.”
Make it last
- Keep terminals clean and tight
- Drive at least 20 minutes a few times a week
- Get it load-tested yearly
Choosing a replacement
Match the group size, CCA and terminal layout. Cars with stop-start need AGM or EFB batteries.
