Tips for Improving Car Battery Life:

• Make Sure Your Battery is Tightly Fastened. A battery that is not properly fastened can vibrate, which can lead to internal damage and short circuits.
• Don’t Use Electronics While Idling. Turning off functions like the radio or air conditioner while the engine is not running puts less stress on the battery.
• Limit Short Rides. Quick car rides prevent your car battery from fully charging. Car batteries recharge at longer distances, and will receive a full recharge after approximately 8 hours of use.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures When Possible. Extreme hot and cold temperatures can shorten your battery’s life. Hot temperatures can evaporate battery fluid, while cold temperatures can cause self-discharge, which can lead to a dead battery.
• Test your car battery frequently. Knowing the condition of your battery helps you keep track on how well your are maintaining your battery, and when you are due for a new one.
