Free local vehicle battery checks Oct. 28

With winter fast approaching, AAA East Central is offering free battery and electrical system checks for eastern Pennsylvania residents.

At the battery wellness clinics, technicians will determine if attendees’ batteries are strong enough to endure the cold winter months.

If needed, attendees can purchase batteries on-the-spot.

Summer heat breaks down the components inside a battery, making them susceptible to failure in cold weather.

To celebrate car care month, AAA East Central is offering the clinics to help members and the public avoid being stranded with a dead battery.

A free battery wellness clinic will be held 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 28 at the Downyflake AAA branch office, 2072 Downyflake Lane, Allentown.
