Battery life is influenced as much by care as it is by quality. Here are the top ways to stretch the life of your battery:
- Keep it charged – avoid letting it drop below 12.3V
- Clean the terminals every 6 months
- Avoid excessive heat or direct engine bay exposure (if avoidable)
- Use a smart charger for deep cycle batteries
- For seasonal equipment (like mowers or caravans), top up charge monthly
Batteries hate neglect. A little regular care goes a long way – and RedPoint’s maintenance advice is always free.
