How to Extend the Lifespan of a Car Battery?

[ReaganDella]

Methods to extend the lifespan of a car battery 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 alternator driven by the engine while the car is running. Short trips prevent the alternator from fully recharging the battery, leading to gradual power depletion and reduced battery lifespan. 2. Plan occasional highway drives: To prevent engine carbon buildup and recharge the battery, driving on the highway every three months ensures timely battery charging and helps clean engine carbon deposits. 3. Minimize use of media and electrical devices: Besides signal and headlights, avoid keeping the cabin or trunk doors open for extended periods, as this drains the battery. Even during night driving, use low beams instead of high beams whenever possible, conserving battery power while ensuring driving safety.
