Cold weather and dead batteries in the Quad Cities
Davenport's January averages 21.9°F under NOAA's 1991-2020 normals, the coldest month of its year. A battery that was only weak in the fall can quit on the first hard freeze.
Cold snaps push it further. In the outbreak of January 29-31, 2019, wind chills stayed below -30°F for hours on end. On January 30 they reached -54°F at the Davenport airport and -57°F at the Clinton airport. Many schools, churches and businesses closed.
Waiting for a jump start in the cold
A shoulder on I-80, I-74 or US 61 is no place to stand by the hood in a January wind. Stay buckled in with your coat on and the hazards running, if they still work. Call 911 first if the car stalled in a live lane or there has been a crash.
Then call (563) 208-4670 from the warm car. On the highway, name the road, your direction and the nearest exit or mile marker. In town, give the street and the cross street. We answer nights and weekends, and you get the price and the timing on the call.
Dead battery in downtown Davenport parking
Downtown street parking is free for two hours. The Redstone, Harrison and RiverCenter ramps cost 75 cents an hour. During a downtown snow emergency, every downtown ramp is free and any car left on the street can be towed.
A dead battery on a downtown street then needs a jump or a move fast. Tell us the ramp name and the level, or the street and the nearest corner.
What to tell us about the dead battery
Say what happens when you turn the key or press start: a click, a slow crank or nothing at all. Tell us whether the dash lights come on. Mention a hybrid, or a battery under a seat or in the trunk.
If the car starts with a jump and dies again later, the battery may not hold a charge. Battery replacement is priced on the call, and a tow starts at $119.
What is included
A jump start brings a dead battery on a car, SUV or pickup back to life. If it will not hold the charge, we quote a new battery or a tow on the same call.
from $82
