How often should the Octavia battery be replaced?
1 Answers
The manufacturer recommends replacing the Octavia battery every two years, but the actual replacement interval largely depends on the vehicle's operating conditions. Short-distance urban driving, frequent short trips with multiple starts/stops, lack of regular maintenance, and failure to recharge the battery properly can significantly shorten its lifespan. Battery maintenance methods include: 1. Starting the car periodically to charge the battery; 2. Adding distilled water or special replenishing fluid when electrolyte levels are low; 3. Regularly checking if the vent holes on the battery cover are clear; 4. Inspecting the battery terminals for oxidation; 5. Examining all electrical circuits for aging or short circuits; 6. Turning off all electrical devices when leaving the vehicle.
