Battery Services

A long drive provides a boost to your batteries, but if each car ride only takes you a few miles, your car battery is under stress.

By being proactive and bringing your car to DeLand Nissan for a complimentary battery check — especially if the battery is over four years old or your vehicle is slow starting — you can avoid potentially being stranded because of a malfunctioning battery.

While a long drive serves to boost the performance of your battery, shorter drives tend to have the opposite effect and put stress on it. Drives that are too short don’t give your battery the time it needs to become fully charged. When you add in the fact that weather extremes, such as excessive heat or cold, can also reduce the lifespan of your battery, you could be inadvertently setting yourself up for a car that won’t start. Fortunately, there are some quick and simple things you can do to extend its ability to hold a charge.

How Do I Extend Battery Life?

• Make sure all trips are at least 20 minutes long to give your battery the opportunity to charge fully
• Unplug your power adapters before leaving your vehicle
• Ensure that you have turned off all exterior and interior lights each time before you exit your vehicle
