Did you know that your car battery has a limited lifespan? In fact, batteries only last three or four years on average. However, by following these tips from our service experts at Helfman Alfa Romeo, you can extend its life.
1. Give Your Battery Time to Charge
Your battery’s energy is drained every time you start your engine. However, as you drive, your alternator will recharge your vehicle. So, if you are frequently taking short trips, you may not be giving your battery enough time to charge.
2. Have Your Battery Serviced Regularly
Having your battery regularly inspected can help protect it. Our trained technicians will clean it and look for loose connections or any corrosion. We’ll also make sure it’s working efficiently so that you know it’s reliable.
3. Always Turn Off All Your Lights
Leaving your headlights or interior lights on can seriously drain your battery. Make sure to check all of your lights before turning your car off.
4. Limit Electronic Use When Idling
We know that Alfa Romeo vehicles are brimming with innovative features. However, you want to make sure not to utilize these too much while idling. Make sure to turn off your air conditioner too, which can also wear down your battery.
5. Avoid Extreme Temperatures
We know it isn’t always possible to avoid extreme temperatures, but it’s important to try if you want to protect your battery. When possible, keep your vehicle stored in a garage or park in the shade when you are out and about.
