How do I properly maintain my Kia Soul's battery?

I noticed that my Kia Soul's battery has been losing charge faster than usual. What steps can I take to properly care for and maintain my battery?

The first step is to make sure your battery terminals are clean and free of any corrosion. You can use a mixture of water and baking soda to clean them.

Regularly check the water level in your battery. If it's low, add distilled water to keep the battery from drying out.

Driving your Kia Soul on a regular basis can also help maintain the battery's charge. If you leave your car sitting for long periods of time, consider investing in a trickle charger to keep the battery topped off.
