I just bought a new Ford EcoSport and I am wondering how to make sure the battery lasts as long as possible. What kind of maintenance should I do to preserve the battery life?
ReplyHi Anna, congratulations on your new Ford EcoSport! To ensure the longest battery life, make sure to regularly clean the battery terminals with a mixture of baking soda and water. Also, check the battery's water level and top it up if necessary. Regularly driving your car and avoiding long periods of inactivity can also help. Finally, if you know you won't be driving for a while, consider disconnecting the negative cable to preserve the battery.
Hi Anna, great question! In addition to the tips already mentioned, you can also keep the battery charged by using a battery charger or driving the car on a regular basis. It's also important to avoid using unnecessary electronic systems while the engine is off, as this puts extra strain on the battery. And remember to not let the battery sit for too long without charging it, as this can also damage it.
