I have been experiencing a decrease in my Kia Soul's battery life and was wondering if there are any specific tips for maintaining it. How often should I drive my Kia Soul to keep the battery charged? Any other advice on how to prolong the battery's life?
ReplyHi Laura, great question! To maintain the battery life of your Kia Soul, it's recommended to drive it at least once a week for at least 20 minutes to keep the battery charged. You can also invest in a battery maintainer, which keeps the battery at a constant charge when not in use. Additionally, make sure to turn off all electronics and lights when the car is off to avoid draining the battery unnecessarily.
Hi Laura, I've found that turning off all electronics and lights when your Kia Soul is not in use significantly helps with prolonging the battery's life. It's also beneficial to avoid frequent short trips, as this can cause the battery to not fully charge. Finally, make sure to check the battery's water level regularly and add distilled water if needed.
Hi Laura, another tip for maintaining the battery life of your Kia Soul is to keep it clean and free from corrosion. You can easily clean the battery terminals with a solution of baking soda and water. Also, make sure to check for any loose or corroded connections. If you notice any issues, have them fixed by a professional.
