How to Extend the Life of Your Car Battery
Here are some steps you can take to lengthen the life of your battery:
1. Keep it tightly fastened: Your car battery needs to be securely fastened, or else it may vibrate, causing short circuits and internal damage. A Legacy Tire & Auto Repair technician can check your battery to see if it is tightly fastened.
2. Limit the number of short drives you take: On shorter trips, the starter doesn’t have enough time to recharge after sparking the engine, which drains the battery faster.
3. Be sure the lights are off: When you park your car, ensure all the lights are off. This includes the headlights, brake lights, and all interior lights. Leaving your car lights on for long periods can wear out your battery.
4. Corrosion control: You need to have an expert thoroughly clean out the battery terminals and ensure they’re free of corrosion.
5. Get it tested: It’s important to know the condition of your vehicle’s battery. At Legacy Tire & Auto Repair, we can test your battery to prolong its life.
