How to Maximise Your Car Battery Life

The average car battery has a lifespan of approximately 18 months. This may not seem like much, but there are steps that you can take to maximise your battery’s lifespan through your automobile maintenance habits- how often you clean the battery, usage habits, and the climate your vehicle is exposed to. Hot weather tends to reduce the lifespan of a car battery, as the heat, combined with the heat already being produced by your engine, causes the fluid within the battery to evaporate, which in turn damages the internal structure of the battery.

Here are some steps you can take to enhance the expected battery life for your vehicle-

1. Clean the Battery Regularly- Battery terminals tend to corrode over time, so keeping them clean is a great way to extend battery life. The best way to go about cleaning the terminal is by using a toothbrush with some baking soda mixed with water. Then remove any residue using a spray bottle with cold water, before drying thoroughly.

2. Try and limit short drives- Every time you start your car, it is power being funnelled from the car battery that allows you to do so. The car battery then recharges as you drive your vehicle. However, if you only drive the vehicle a short distance before turning it off, the battery is not given adequate time to recharge.

3. Make sure the Battery is securely fastened- When a battery is not securely fastened, it can vibrate, which in turn can cause internal damage and short circuiting. The battery can become less securely fastened when your vehicle is driven on bumpy roads, so make sure to get the battery fastening checked after bumpy rides.

4. Check your Lights- One of the most prominent reasons for battery degradation is people leaving their lights on in a vehicle, as most people are unlikely to realise their mistake till they get in to their car next. Make sure you always check the lights before you leave your vehicle and try to limit the amount of time your car spends idling while there are electronics charging using power from the vehicle.

5. Test Your Battery regularly- Knowing the current level of your car battery allows you to gain a deeper understanding of the various factors that may affect it, and can also prevents a situation where you are stranded because your battery has stopped working and your car now refuses to start. You can test the battery’s output voltage level using a car battery tester, or simply visit one of Saeedi Pro’s nine conveniently located service centres in Dubai where we can test it for you!
