Car Battery Essentials

Batteries are an essential part of modern life, from charging devices to powering your car. It can be daunting having to replace a battery.  Did you know that 70% of batteries don’t make it past 4 years? However, there is something you can do! Keeping the terminals and cables clean helps prolong its lifespan – so let us take care when they’re looking grimy or corroded; we’ll have them back in good shape in no time. Also, the dry New Mexico climate means, you need to check your battery’s water level to maintain its health.

Taking short trips around town is certainly convenient, but unfortunately these errand runs won’t necessarily give your car battery a full charge. Repeatedly running the headlights or watching a DVD without the engine on will deplete it even further and takes a toll over time – after 10 of these deep cycle rundowns, you’re likely to find that your battery has given up completely! Fortunately, there’s an easy way to keep yours healthy: invest in an automatic battery charger and use it regularly (once per month during hot months, every three months when temperatures drop). This simple step is sure to keep your car going strong for years down the road.

When it’s time to get a new battery, your NAPA AutoCare Center has got you covered! We’ll make sure it meets your manufacturer’s recommendations, but if you live in an extreme climate or run many accessories, then let us look into finding the perfect upgrade for extra power.
