DB While every battery eventually needs replacing, a few habits can help you get the most out of it before that point.
Practical tips
- Take occasional longer drives if you mostly do short journeys
- Avoid leaving lights or electrical equipment on unnecessarily
- Keep battery terminals clean and free of corrosion
- Have the battery and charging system tested periodically
- Avoid leaving the vehicle unused for long periods where possible
Why maintenance still matters
A battery can deteriorate sooner if the vehicle makes lots of short journeys, is left unused for long periods, experiences charging-system problems, has an electrical drain, or has corroded or poor connections.
Getting it checked periodically
Regular testing can catch a developing problem before it leads to a breakdown, rather than waiting until the battery fails completely.
DB Autos can test your battery's condition at any time. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
