Why the Málaga climate wears batteries out faster

Heat is a battery's worst enemy: it speeds up electrolyte evaporation and internal corrosion. In Málaga, with long summers and sustained high temperatures, real battery life is usually 3 to 5 years rather than the usual 4-6. On top of that, two very common city habits make it worse:

• Short trips: the alternator never puts back what starting the engine took out, so the battery is left permanently half charged.
• A car left standing for days: the electronics keep drawing current even when you don't start it, and after a week parked the charge drops noticeably.

That's why we offer a free battery condition check with Midtronics equipment: in five minutes you'll know whether it will last the summer or it's time to replace it.
