One of the most vital maintenance tasks is ensuring your vehicle's battery is in good shape to protect against getting stranded.
Understanding Your Battery's Lifespan
Most batteries will last 3-5 years on a vehicle. However, vehicles with a substantial amount of tech gadget accessories installed will reduce the battery life, and people who do a lot of short-distance driving which does not allow for recharging.
Because technology also draws energy from the battery to operate continuously, it puts an ongoing strain on battery life. That also applies to people continuously charging external tech devices such as smartphones.
Seasonal Battery Considerations
It is usually recommended to check your battery in the fall to see how well it holds a charge. As the colder months get underway near Atmore, AL, battery usage increases with less daylight. Because of this and the colder temperatures, which can affect how well a battery charges and starts an engine, making sure your battery is in good shape is essential.
