🔋Tips to Improve Your Car Battery Life

• Drive Regularly

      Short trips or long periods of inactivity can cause your battery to discharge. Regular driving helps keep it charged.

​

• Turn Off Electronics When Engine's Off

       Always switch off headlights, cabin lights, radio, and AC when the engine isn’t running to prevent draining the battery.

​

• Clean the Battery Terminals

       Corrosion on terminals can block current flow. Periodically clean them using a mixture of baking soda and water.

• Check Charging System Health

       Ensure your alternator, voltage regulator, and related parts are working properly. Overcharging or undercharging can                       damage the battery.

• ​Secure the Battery Firmly

       A loosely mounted battery can vibrate and get damaged. Make sure it’s secured tightly in its tray.

​​​

• Limit Use of Accessories When Idling

       Avoid running heavy electrical accessories (like high-power sound systems or lights) for long periods when the engine is off.

• Keep Battery and Engine Cool

       Extreme heat can evaporate battery fluid. Park in shade whenever possible and ensure engine cooling systems are                             functioning well.

​

• Do Routine Battery Testing

       Have your battery tested at least twice a year to catch early signs of weakness before it fails.

​

• ​Replace Before It Dies

       If your battery is 3+ years old, keep an eye out for slow starts or dimming lights — they could signal it's time for a replacement.
