How do I properly maintain the battery in my Kia Niro?

I just purchased a Kia Niro and I want to make sure I take good care of the battery. What are some important things to keep in mind when maintaining the battery? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Samantha, congratulations on your new Kia Niro! To properly maintain the battery, make sure to regularly clean the terminals with baking soda and water to prevent corrosion. Also, check the water level in the battery and refill if necessary.

Hi Samantha, it's important to also keep an eye on your driving habits. Consistently short trips and infrequent use of the car can lead to a drained battery. Consider investing in a battery maintainer for these situations.

Hi Samantha, another tip for maintaining your battery is to avoid leaving the car's accessories on for extended periods of time without the engine running. This can drain the battery quickly.
