What are the maintenance methods for car batteries?
1 Answers
Car battery maintenance methods are as follows: 1. Regular driving: Long-term parking causes the battery's charge to gradually decrease. Over time, it may lead to power depletion. Driving the car out for a period every few days can recharge the battery, keeping it in a fully charged state as much as possible. Each drive should ideally last more than 20 minutes. 2. Minimize electricity usage after turning off the engine: When the engine is off, the car consumes power from the battery. Prolonged usage may drain the battery, leading to starting failure. It is recommended to avoid using electrical devices after turning off the engine. 3. Regular battery cleaning: During daily driving, it's necessary to clean the car battery. Use a cloth to wipe off dust, oil stains, white powder, and other contaminants that may cause leakage from the panel and the positive and negative terminals. Avoid using a wet cloth. If unsure, it's advisable to visit a 4S shop or a professional repair shop for assistance. 4. Regular battery replacement: Car batteries have a limited lifespan, generally around three years or over 100,000 kilometers. Long-term use can degrade battery performance, so timely replacement is essential.
