Inspect for Corrosion  

Check the terminals regularly for white or green buildup. Clean them gently with a brush and baking soda.  

Secure Connections  

Ensure the battery cables are tightly connected to prevent power interruptions. Loose wires can cause problems over time.  

Test the Battery  

Use a multimeter or visit our dealership to periodically test your battery’s voltage. This will ensure it performs well. 

Limit Power Usage When Idle  

Avoid leaving lights or electronics on when the engine is off. Excessive drain can weaken the battery.
