Battery Lifespan 101: Why Batteries Say ‘Bye’

  • Playing the charging game wrong – too much or too little – messes with your battery’s vibe.
  • A lot of “dead battery” drama is just a battery that’s tired from not charging or from leaving your lights on. Don’t let your battery down!
  • Like all of us, batteries get worn out. Over time, they just can’t keep up.
  • Shake, rattle, and roll is no dance for your battery. Keep it tight to avoid internal breakups.
 

When Do Car Batteries Break Up?

  • Batteries have their own timing – usually, it’s when you least expect it. Regular check-ups at your Battery Clinic can save the day.
  • Changing your driving habits or heading out on a holiday? Get that battery checked.
  • Extreme cold or hot? Batteries feel that too. Give them a little extra love in harsh weather.

 

Remember, your battery’s part of the family – treat it right, and it’ll do right by you. Swing by your local Battery Clinic for any battery woes or just a quick health check. Keep rolling smoothly!

Overcharging? Just Don't!

More isn't always better. Overcharging is like force-feeding your battery; it can't end well.

Don't Get Heavy with the Gravity

If your battery's getting too dense (we're talking specific gravity here), it's time to ease up. Too much of a good thing can be bad.

Keep It Clean, Keep It Mean

Dirty battery equals drama. Keep it clean to avoid unwanted power leaks and corrosion.

Idle Battery Blues

Not using your battery? Don't let it sit there sulking. A monthly charge can keep it from slipping into a battery depression.

The Sulphation Situation

Left uncharged, your battery can get all sulky with sulphation. Keep it charged to keep it happy.

Electrolyte Etiquette

Keep those fluid levels just right – not too high, not too low. Stick with approved battery water for top-ups to avoid any nasty surprises.
