Why car batteries die in Dubai heat, and what to do about it

Signs your battery is going

  • The engine turns over slowly when you start it.
  • You hear clicking but the car does not start.
  • The battery warning light comes on.
  • The lights look dim when you start the car.
  • The battery case looks swollen or there is white crust on the terminals.

How to make it last

  • Park in the shade or covered parking when you can.
  • Get the battery tested before summer and at every service.
  • Drive for a proper length of time regularly. Short trips don't recharge it fully.
  • Keep the terminals clean and tight.

If it dies

A jump-start gets you going. Then drive straight to a battery shop to have it tested. If it dies again, don't keep trying: call us and we take the car to the shop.
