Your car battery is one of the most important elements of your engine. Without a functioning battery, you will find yourself stranded at home, work, or even on the side of a busy highway. Luckily, there are several ways you can take care of your battery to maximize its lifespan, and to get an idea of when you will need a new one.
Keep the battery warm
If you can, park your car in a garage. This will help prevent the battery from getting too cold over the winter, which can drain it more quickly. As an added bonus, parking indoors can also protect your paint job and makes it much easier to get going on frosty mornings since you can skip the ice scraper.
