I've been having some trouble with my Kia Ceed's battery lately. I'm not sure if it's because I'm not using my car often due to the pandemic or if there is something else going on. How can I ensure that my battery stays in good condition?
ReplyHi Hannah, thanks for reaching out. It is recommended to drive your car at least once a week to maintain the battery's charge. Additionally, make sure to turn off all lights and electronic devices when the car is not in use to avoid draining the battery. If you continue to experience issues, it may be time to replace the battery.
Hey Hannah, frequent short trips can also contribute to a weak battery. Try to take your Kia Ceed on longer drives to allow the battery to charge fully. You can also invest in a battery maintainer or trickle charger to help keep the battery charged when the car is not in use.
Hi there Hannah, one more thing to keep in mind is extreme temperatures. If your area experiences very cold or hot weather, it can affect your battery's performance. Consider using a battery blanket in colder climates or parking in the shade in hotter climates to help preserve the battery.
