How to extend the lifetime of my Kia Sportage's battery?

I have a Kia Sportage and I've been experiencing problems with my battery. It seems to die out quickly and I have to replace it frequently. Are there any tips or tricks to help prolong the life of my car's battery?

One of the biggest factors in battery lifespan is how frequently you use your car. If you let your car sit idle for long periods of time, the battery can lose its charge. Try starting your car and letting it run for at least 10-15 minutes once a week.

Another important aspect is monitoring the electrolyte levels in your battery. Make sure they are always at the recommended levels. You can easily check this by opening the caps on top of the battery and topping up with distilled water if needed.

You can also invest in a battery maintainer, which is a small device that can be hooked up to your car's battery and keeps it at a steady charge while it's not in use. This can greatly extend the lifespan of your battery.
