The specialists have claimed that over 200,000 batteries are replaced by the AA and RAC every year.
They stress that battery problems are the number one reason vehicles struggle to start up over the winter.
Batteries are also more at risk because motorists use a lot more electricity in the winter with electricity storage being drained more quickly.
Yuasa said: “The winter weather means that vehicle electrical systems have to work a lot harder with headlights and heating being used a lot more than in warmer months.
“It also takes a lot more power for a starter motor to turn a cold engine over. This increased demand puts a lot more strain on your car’s battery.”
Car breakdown specialists at the RAC warned it was fairly simple for road users to diagnose battery issues in their vehicles.
Replacing a damaged car battery can be costly with fees ranging anywhere from £100 to £400.
The price motorists pay will depend on the type, quality and brand of the battery and whether it is still under warranty.
Luxury or high-performance vehicles are likely to require specialised car batteries which will usually be more expensive.
They commented: “If you hear a faint whining noise when you turn the key in the ignition, but the starter motor doesn’t turn over, the likelihood is you have a flat battery.
“If the battery is totally depleted, or the cables to the battery have come loose, you may not hear anything.
“Further signs of a completely flat battery include the ignition lights on the dashboard failing to illuminate, and the car refusing to unlock via remote central locking.”
