Your Vehicle’s Battery

While it’s rather low maintenance compared to other parts, your car’s battery still needs a little bit of TLC now and again to continue running smoothly. Not only does routine battery service safeguard you from potential problems, it can also help you keep better track of your remaining car battery life.

How to Care for a New Nissan Battery?

A new Nissan battery can last anywhere from 2 to 4 years, depending on a variety of factors. As previously mentioned, one of the largest impacts on car battery life is how often it’s serviced. Regular appointments ensure that your battery is fully charged and cleaned of any dirt or corrosion, both of which are crucial to battery health.

On top of that, there are several habits that drivers can adopt that may help extend car battery life, including:

• Making sure the headlights and cabin lights are switched off before leaving the vehicle
• Avoiding battery draining behaviors such as idling, taking short drives and letting your vehicle sit for days at a time without use
• Keeping your car cool during the summer by parking in covered spots or garages
• Unplugging power adapters when they’re not being used
• Inspecting your battery to make sure it’s clean and fastened down properly
