How do I properly maintain the battery life of my Kia Stonic?

I just got my brand new Kia Stonic and I want to make sure I keep the battery running at its best. What are some tips or best practices for maintaining the battery life?

Firstly, make sure to check the battery terminals regularly for any corrosion and clean them if necessary. Also, avoid excessively draining the battery by not leaving any electronic devices on while the engine is off. Use a battery maintainer if the car will be sitting for extended periods of time. And finally, make sure to get the battery checked by a professional at least once a year to ensure it's performing at its best.

I recommend investing in a portable jump starter to always have on hand in case of emergency. Also, regularly driving your car for extended periods of time can help keep the battery charged. And lastly, avoid frequently using electronic devices such as charging your phone while the car is off.

In addition to the other suggestions, keeping your battery clean and free from dirt and debris can also help prolong its life. As for charging, it's best to fully charge the battery and then unplug it rather than leaving it on the charger for extended periods of time.
