How often should a car be started if not driven for a long time?

[DaniellaLynn]

If a car is parked and not driven for one to two months, it needs to be started. Here are some methods for maintaining the car battery: In-car electricity usage: To maintain the car battery, avoid listening to the radio loudly, charging mobile phones, or using air pumps when the engine is off. Doing so frequently can lead to battery depletion, and repeated depletion will significantly reduce the battery's lifespan. Long-distance highway driving: Regularly driving on highways not only helps remove carbon deposits from the vehicle but also fully charges the battery. Generally, driving on the highway for more than an hour can fully charge the battery, keeping it in optimal condition. Avoid prolonged parking: If the car is not used for an extended period, disconnect the battery or start the vehicle every two weeks and drive it for several dozen kilometers to ensure the battery remains functional.
