How do I maintain the battery of my Kia Niro?

I recently purchased a Kia Niro and I am unsure how to maintain its battery. What steps should I take to ensure its longevity?

Regularly check the battery terminals for any corrosion and clean them with a mixture of water and baking soda if needed. This will help ensure proper electrical connections.

Avoid frequently starting and stopping the car, as this puts strain on the battery. If you can, combine short trips into one longer trip to reduce strain on the battery.

Consider investing in a battery charger or maintainer, especially if your car sits unused for extended periods of time. This will help keep the battery charged and prolong its lifespan.

Make sure to check the battery's water level regularly, especially in hot climates. Low water levels can lead to battery acid damage and decrease in performance.
