Common Issues with the Kia Niro Battery

I've noticed my Kia Niro's battery doesn't seem to hold a charge as well as it used to. What could be causing this and how can I improve it?

Battery degradation is normal over time, but it could also be due to extreme temperatures or frequent short trips. One way to improve battery performance is to take longer trips to allow the battery to fully charge.

Another factor that can affect battery health is frequently using high drain accessories, such as the A/C, while the car is off or idling. It's best to minimize use of these accessories to preserve battery life.

If you're experiencing issues with the battery even after attempting to improve its performance, it's possible that the battery itself needs to be replaced. It's best to have it checked by a professional mechanic.
