Yes. Short winter journeys are one of the most common causes of battery failure. Starting a car requires a large amount of electrical energy, and cold temperatures reduce how much usable power a battery can provide.

On short trips, the alternator often does not have enough time to replace the energy used during starting, especially when heaters, lights, and demisters are running. Repeating this pattern gradually weakens the battery, which is why batteries often fail in winter even on cars that are not driven far.
