How to Take Care of Your Car Battery: Tips from EPC Michigan
Your car battery is the heartbeat of your vehicle. At EPC Michigan, we understand that a high-performance battery is not only a product but a commitment to reliability and safety. Here's how you can take care of your car battery to ensure a longer lifespan and optimal performance.
1. Regular Inspection Check your battery every few months for any signs of corrosion on the terminals or signs of swelling or cracking. Catching these early can prevent unexpected breakdowns.
2. Keep It Clean Dirt and debris can cause your battery to drain faster. Use a clean cloth to wipe down the surface and clean the terminals with a mixture of baking soda and water if you notice any corrosion.
3. Limit Short Rides Frequent short trips don't allow your battery to fully charge. Try to drive longer distances occasionally or use a battery maintainer if your vehicle isn’t used daily.
4. Turn Off Electricals Make sure to turn off lights, the radio, and other electrical components when your engine isn't running. This will reduce unnecessary battery drain.
5. Store Properly During Long Periods of Inactivity If you plan to leave your car unused for a long period, disconnect the battery or use a trickle charger to maintain the charge.
6. Choose Quality First At EPC Michigan, our batteries are engineered for durability and high performance. By choosing a quality battery, you invest in peace of mind and long-term savings.
