First, You Should Know That Every Car Battery’s
Lifespan Has A Limit (but most people kill their
battery well before it’s time)
First
First, every car battery has a limit to its lifespan.
Even if you take care of your car
battery perfectly …it will still die one
day. This set lifespan is called the
battery’s “Calendar Life” and it’s
completely independent of how many
times the battery has been charged
or discharged
Once a battery reaches the end of its “Calendar Life” it will become unusable.
But most car batteries never make it their full “Calendar Life”…
Instead, they die early because of poor maintenance and care

A Little Background About Lead Acid Batteries
Before Our 8 Battery Tips And Tricks…
Lead acid batteries are the oldest, most dependable, and most widely used type
of rechargeable battery in the world.
Lead Acid Batteries have three life phases – formatting, peak, and decline.
Formatting is when the battery is new and needs to be used gently.
Peak is the ideal performance phase, which we seek to maintain for as
long as possible.
Decline is a slow process, but one that gradually ends in the termination
of the battery.

Batteries in decline can still be used for quite a while, but must be watched.
Around this time, you can either recondition the battery or keep a close eye on it
and try to replace it before a problem arises (like being unable to start your car for

8 Simple Tips To Prolong The Life Of Your Car’s

Tip 1: Do a monthly inspection of the battery terminals to
make sure they are clean and corrosion free
One of the first problems most people
have with their car battery is the buildup of corrosion around the terminals.
Corrosion destroys the connection
between the battery and the vehicle
and many batteries are replaced due
to too much corrosive build up
But often times, this can be easily treated by simply pouring a small amount of
Cola or a DIY anti-corrosion paste (one part water to three parts baking soda)
over the corroded areas
The acid in the Cola or the alkaline properties in the DIY anti-corrosion paste will
eat the corrosion away.
After the corrosion is gone, use a clean damp rag or sponge to clean up the
remaining residue and moisture.
Be sure to let it dry, then rub some petroleum jelly on the terminals to prevent
future corrosion.
*note: see our safety tips at the end of this article before disconnecting/reconnecting your battery.
Tip 2: Do not operate any car accessories (radio, lights, or
electronics) before turning on the car ignition and driving the
car
When the car is on, the car alternator generates electricity and charges the car
battery after the battery has a voltage drop.
But if the car is not on, and you are
using the car’s electronics, you are
just relying on the car battery to
power those electronics. This is
detrimental to the car battery because
car batteries are not meant for this
type of use.
Tip 3: Make sure the car battery is secure and has good
battery cables
The battery has to be secured at all
times. If a battery is jostling around it
will be impaired and could short
circuit. This will ruin the battery – and
even cause damage to your car while
creating a safety risk.
Tip 4: Insulate your car battery from extreme changes in
temperature
To do this you can use a car battery insulation kit
Tip 5: Fully charge your car battery at least once a week (use a
car battery charger or interchange batteries i
Tip 6: Check your car battery’s water level
Most car batteries indicate if there is a need for water.
Sou have to)
Your car battery drains even when the car off
Tip 7: Do NOT overcharge your car battery
Never overcharge your car battery. Lead-acid batteries release oxygen and
hydrogen gases when they’re overcharged.
This causes two problems:
1. It can be explosive.
Tip 8: Check your car’s alternator
If you’re doing everything we’ve
recommended in this article but your
car batteries are still dying early,
you’ll want to check your car’s
alternator (or get a mechanic to check
it).
If your alternator is bad it will results in ineffective recharging of your battery
