1. PREVENT MAKING SHORT TRIPS MOST OF THE TIME

If you drive a lot of short distances, the alternator will not have the time to charge the battery back to its previous state before starting the car. The main reason for the car battery’s existence is to Start the engine, so most of its energy is consumed by start-ups.
If you usually drive five to ten minutes to your work or other nearby places, your battery is likely undercharged. So, in order to have longer battery life, drive long distances every 1-2 weeks to let the alternator fully charge your battery.

2.CLEAN & INSPECT

Open the hood of the car and observe the battery if there is dirt on the battery. Clean your battery by removing away the dirt with a dry cloth or a soft brush.

Also, check the terminals with the clamps on them if they are loose, if yes, tight them but not too much. Additionally, check if there is corrosion around them (white or a blue-green powder). Corrosion and dirt will reduce the charging and the operation of your battery, creating a reduced connection. Gently remove the corrosion with a dry cloth or a soft brush (always wear protective cloves). If there is a lot of corrosion, visit us, and we can offer you a free Battery check and advice.
