Why you need to turn on the headlights before starting the engine in winter: true or confusing

Why you need to turn on the headlights before starting the engine in winter: true or confusing

As it turned out, there is nothing destructive in preparing the battery before starting. If someone is used to doing so, then this is his right. The whole point is that with a working battery with a normal supply of energy, this procedure does not make sense. In many cars, when starting up, processes take place that quickly wake up the car battery after a frosty night. Turning on the headlights will not save you much. It’s better to periodically clean the terminals, monitor the charge level, and also forget about moving the device from under the cold hood to a warm apartment. Serviceable and fully charged batteries do not need a warm overnight stay.
