Common questions about battery boost in Vars
Why does my car battery die in Vars winters?
Low temperatures decrease the speed of internal battery chemistry, resulting in diminished starting capability. The rated starting power of a battery, known as its cold-cranking amps (CCA), is measured at -18°C and reveals dramatically lower output than at more moderate temperatures. The extreme cold in Ottawa, which routinely reaches -20°C or lower, makes battery breakdown the most common roadside emergency between November and March.
Improperly jump-starting a car could lead to serious damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
Yes. Connecting jumper cables in the wrong order — or to the wrong terminal — can damage your ECU, airbag modules, and other sensitive electronics, and modern vehicles are particularly sensitive to voltage spikes. When jump-starting a vehicle, the correct approach is to first connect positive terminals together, then attach the negative cable to an unpainted metal engine ground point, rather than the battery's negative terminal. If in doubt, call Most Valuable Towing — our technicians follow manufacturer-approved boost procedures every time.
How long should I drive after a battery boost in Vars?
You'll want to drive around 20-30 minutes continuously to give the alternator enough time to fully recharge the battery. A battery that's already weak might not get fully recharged through this method, which could mean the car won't start when temperatures drop. Most Valuable Towing checks the battery's performance with a load test after jump-starting, so you'll know its true condition right away instead of being surprised later.

Customer Reviews
What Vars customers say about Battery Boost
"Towing service and power boost were very helpful, took care of everything. Would recommend."
"My car lost battery power out of nowhere. Moe arrived within 5 minutes of me calling and gracious enough to give me a discount because he wasn’t far. He answered all my questions with a smile and was genuinely a kind person. Highly recommend !"
"Had issues with my car starting twice and he was very helpful both times. The first time I just had a dead battery and he had a jump kit which saved me a bit of money, the second time I definitely needed a tow. Will keep him in mind if I ever need a tow again!"
