How to Extend Battery Life?

[Dale]

Methods to extend battery life are as follows: 1. Avoid short trips: Every time a car starts, it consumes a significant amount of power from the battery. This power is replenished by the generator driven by the engine while the car is moving. Short trips prevent the car's generator from timely replenishing the power consumed during startup, which over time can lead to battery depletion and affect its lifespan. 2. Plan highway driving: To prevent engine carbon buildup and to recharge the car battery, driving on the highway every three months or so ensures timely charging of the car battery and helps clean engine carbon deposits. 3. Minimize the use of media music and onboard electronics: Besides the car's signal and lighting systems, avoid keeping the cockpit and trunk doors open for extended periods, as this consumes battery power. Even during night driving, use low beams instead of high beams whenever possible, which saves battery power while ensuring driving safety.
