Batteries 101

Proper Battery Maintenance

These days, properly maintained batteries can last a long time, about 5 years, no matter what the manufacturer tells you. An inexpensive battery might get a year or two less, and a higher-quality battery might get a year or two more.
Proper maintenance helps your battery live to a ripe old age. Try:
  • Using a battery lithium grease or or anti-corrosion spray to help prevent corrosion, and a wire brush to remove present corrosion. (See below.)
  • Driving your car for an hour or two, at least every 3 weeks, to bring your battery to a full state of charge (the alternator will charge the battery while your motor is running).
