- Check for warranty when buying a new battery to ensure you're covered in case of unforeseen mechanical issues.
- Take your vehicle for regular servicing to ensure all the electricals connecting the battery are in place and there is no sign of leakage or corrosion.
- Don't keep the battery idle for too long. Even if you're not using your car, take it out for a spin in 5-7 days or keep the engine on for at least 5 minutes to avoid a flat battery.
- Replacement batteries should fit the size and specifications required for a car. Check the car manually if you're unsure about which battery to get or seek help from a technician at your nearest service center.
