Cold Battery
These images are Cold Battery Dashboard Indicator symbols. They effectively indicated that the battery in question is reduced in capacity due to cold weather conditions. They are effectively Reduced Power Indicators.
- Before continuing, are you sure one of these is your symbol?? If yes, then read on below.
- Otherwise you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!
The first is a simple image of a household-type battery with a superimposed snowflake. The second image, in blue, notes that power is reduced because of cold drive train conditions. The lights may go out as the drive train warms up even if the outside temperature does not rise. The second icon will be seen in gray scale (left) when the drive system temperature is high, possibly due to sustained or high power demand when driving on mountain roads, for example. This also reduces the amount of power available.
