Your battery works differently depending on how you use your vehicle. Understanding your driving habits is the key to choosing the right solution.
Infrequent use When a vehicle sits for long periods, the battery naturally loses charge. Modern vehicles draw small amounts of power even when parked, so long idle times can leave your battery struggling when you finally need it.
Short trips Quick drives don’t give the alternator enough time to properly recharge the battery. In fact, repeated short trips can drain it faster, especially in colder weather or with high accessory use.
Occasional starts Starting the engine every now and then without a proper run can make things worse. The battery uses a big burst of power to crank the engine, but doesn’t get the driving time it needs to recover.
