(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 02, 2001 ) It's one of the worst parts of winter -- your car battery dies and you're stranded out in the cold. Driving in winter can be a challenge, but if you do your homework ahead of time you'll cut your risks and give yourself some peace of mind. Consumers are now turning to the Internet for new tools to avoid problems on the road. There are ways to check the health of your battery before you find yourself out in the cold. You can go to AutoBatteries.com -- a consumer Web site that predicts how much longer your battery is expected to last based on where you live and how old your battery is. It also gives car care tips such as if you can't park your car in a garage, find a few minutes to go out and start it a couple times a day. If your car needs a jumpstart, you can make sure you know what you're doing by practicing online with an interactive exercise. Should you need a new battery, you can choose a brand, get a list of battery choices that will work for your vehicle, and find out where you can buy them.------------------------ Produced for Johnson Controls, Inc.CONTACT: Anne Ballentine, (414) 271-4001 ext. 224 Lisa Franklin, (414) 524 -2988 ------------------------
