The battery is a car part that needs constant service, and being aware of the state of your battery will help you prevent being stranded from battery failure.

At Earthycars, we want you to be as informed as possible about your battery. Here are a couple of ways you can keep your battery in top condition:

• Unplug  negative battery terminal when parked for over a month

Because car batteries drain over time, it’s important to unplug the negative battery terminal when storing the car for over a month.

• Don’t let the battery die

Be aware of your battery life when the car isn’t running. Repeated battery drainage will cause the battery to die over time.

Tips For Battery Service

Because the alternator charges the battery when the car is running, the only time you need to service/replace the battery is when it dies. 

If you are having battery problems, have the battery tested by a professional before replacing it.
