A dead battery can be a frustrating and inconvenient experience, especially if it happens when you are in a hurry or far from home.Â
However, there are several things you can do to help prevent a dead battery:
1. Keep your Battery Clean
Dirt and grime can build up on your battery terminals and reduce the flow of electricity. To prevent this, be sure to keep your battery clean by using a battery terminal cleaner and protecting the terminals with a coating of petroleum jelly.
2. Use a Battery Maintainer
If you don’t drive your vehicle regularly, a battery maintainer can help to keep your battery charged and prevent it from going dead. These devices are designed to maintain a healthy charge on your battery while it is not in use.
3. Turn Off Electrical Accessories when the Vehicle is Off
Leaving electrical accessories such as the radio, headlights, or air conditioning on when the car is off can drain the battery. Be sure to turn off these accessories when the car is not running to conserve battery power
4. Keep your Vehicle Well-Maintained
Regular maintenance, such as checking and replacing the battery cables and checking the charging system, can help to prevent a dead battery.
