I recently purchased a Kia Niro and I want to make sure I am getting the most out of the battery. What can I do to ensure the battery has a long lifespan and retains its charge for longer periods?
ReplyRegularly charge the battery at a slow rate, such as using a 110-volt household outlet instead of a high-speed charging station. This will put less stress on the battery cells and extend their life.
Avoid extreme temperatures, both cold and hot, as they can negatively impact battery life. If possible, park your car in a garage or shaded area to keep the battery at a comfortable temperature.
Take advantage of the regenerative braking system by driving in Eco mode. This will help charge the battery while driving and extend its lifespan.
