Although we suggest having your car’s battery and charging system serviced by professionals, we also recommend practicing safe habits that protect them. By actively caring for this system, you’ll be able to enjoy a quality-performing vehicle for much longer. Here are two things we actively recommend you employ into your auto maintenance routine to ensure your car’s battery is always functional:
Turnoff Your Headlights!
If there’s one avoidable mistake that has left many vehicle owners unable to start their vehicle, it’s leaving the headlights on. Doing this drains the battery and, since the car isn’t on, the alternator won’t be able to help maintain its charge. The result? A dead battery and a vehicle that can’t start. Fortunately, most vehicles will give you an indicator that the headlights are still on or it’ll shut them off automatically, but it’s still important to check for yourself to ensure you avoid a dead battery.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Whether you’re driving in extreme heat or the frigid cold, these conditions can wreak havoc on your car’s battery. If you find yourself in either situation, make sure your car is properly sheltered in a garage. Even if the garage isn’t climate controlled, limiting the outside exposure can help prolong the battery’s life. If this isn’t an option, make sure you have your car’s battery checked before the season begins so you can have a fresh, new battery in place.
