Your Battery

An extended drive delivers a greater charge to the battery, while repeated short trips can result in your car battery undergoing electro-chemical imbalance. Battery neglect can result in your being stranded. This can occur in the most frigid of winters and in the hottest of summers.

How Do I Extend Battery Life?

• Make sure all interior and exterior lights are off prior to exiting the car.
• Make sure all power adapters are unplugged.
• Try and time your trips to run a number of errands at one time. Your car battery takes at least 20 minutes to charge, so shortened periods without a full charge may result in a shorter battery life.

You don’t want to neglect your battery and find yourself stranded. In hot and extreme cold climates, this can occur quite frequently. Extended drives are always the best way to ensure your battery stays at its greatest charge while prolonging its lifecycle and performance.

There are some quick and simple tests that can help determine how well your battery is performing, and whether or not there are any concerns. It’s always best to keep a note of when you purchased your last battery in your maintenance records. This will assist in determining when it needs to be tested, while providing a timeline for replacement.

No one likes to be stranded, and we’re here to make sure your car is always in good condition. Ask about getting your car battery tested at INFINITI of Cool Springs service center today.
