Your Hyundai’s Battery Is Essential in Getting You Where You Need To Go.

Today’s cars are virtual computers on wheels. The battery is the heart of the vehicle and supplies electricity to the complex computer and controllers. Keeping your battery in top shape and prolonging its life will help ensure it provides the zap to power your Hyundai’s zip.

Here are steps you can take to maximize your battery’s health.

1. Don’t overtax your battery

Avoid using power while the engine is off to ensure your battery maintains a full charge. Many after-market plug-in devices may continually tax your battery even when your car is not running.

3. Regular maintenance

Battery performance can be impacted by corrosion, loose connections, dirt, grease buildup on the battery, and more. Many of these conditions can be prevented by routine battery inspections and maintenance. Early detection of potential issues saves you time and money.
