What Type of Battery Is Best for My Car?

The best battery for your car depends on your vehicle type and driving needs. Most standard cars run well with a lead-acid battery, while modern vehicles with start-stop systems need an AGM or EFB battery. For 4WDs or vehicles running extra accessories, a high-capacity or deep cycle battery option may be a better option.

How Do I Maintain My Car Battery?

1. Check and Clean Regularly: Look for corrosion on terminals and clean them with a wire brush and a mix of baking soda and water. 2. Drive Often: Short trips can drain a battery—regular driving helps keep it charged and extend service life. 3. Keep it Charged: If you don’t drive often, connect a smart battery charger to maintain charge and prevent the battery from going flat. 4. Secure it Properly: Make sure the battery is firmly mounted in its tray under the bonnet to avoid vibration damage. 5. Test your Battery - have it checked every 6-12 months, especially before winter or long trips.
