Helpful Battery Maintenance Tips

• Know Your Climate - Hotter climates tend to have a harsher impact on the lifespan and performance of your battery than colder climates.

• Date Codes - There will be a date code listed on your battery, typically on the side. The code starts with a digit and a letter; 15 would indicate 2015 and it is followed by a number denoting the month A being January, B being February and so on. The older your battery is, the more likely it may need to be replaced.

• Corrosion Buildup - Over time, corrosion can begin to collect around battery terminal posts. Keeping your battery terminals free of corrosion helps ensure reliable performance. Excessive corrosion buildup can also be a symptom of a dying battery.

• Cables and Clamps - Make sure to tighten and properly secure any loose clamps or cables around battery terminals for a good connection.

• Electrical Features - When not in use, it's good practice to switch off headlights, radio, and interior lights. Leaving these features off when they're not needed can help reduce excess drain and will extend the life of your battery.
