How to Maintain My Battery for as Long as Possible

To extend the life of your car battery, follow these simple maintenance tips:

1. If your car will be inactive for a long period, remove the battery and keep it on a battery maintainer.
2. For short commutes, periodically take longer drives to ensure the battery charges adequately.
3. Always turn off lights and electronics when exiting the car.
4. Regularly check the battery voltage; it should not drop below 12.3 volts.
5. Clean the battery surface with a damp cloth to prevent corrosion.
6. Maintain your car regularly, as a well-maintained car prolongs battery life.

Avoid using the car in extreme weather conditions if possible, as this can also affect battery longevity.
