Sometimes people forget that their vehicle is powered by a battery. As with standard batteries, your car battery is susceptible to wear and will eventually die and require replacement. However, there are things that can contribute to shortening the lifespan of your car battery if you are not careful.
Take note of some of the most common of these hazards and try to avoid them:
Weather - Weather is one of the most common issues associated with shortening car battery life. This is particularly prevalent in areas where the weather gets blistering hot during the summer. During these hot summer months, consider storing your car in the garage, or under covered parking whenever possible to help preserve your battery.
Routine Maintenance - Consider visiting a service center or local auto parts store every few months to get your car battery recharged. This will help it continue running at full capacity and reduce the chance of a gradual reduction in power.
