Your Battery

Car batteries generally get their recharge and power up from the engine being used and turning over the generator, which creates and electrical charge feeding back into the battery. This age-old, ingenious design has allowed car batteries to last for years instead of draining out after one use. However, there is a limitation. The car battery needs to be charged regularly for extended period, usually at least 30 minutes to an hour to operate at an optimal level. If the car is being driven on short bursts every day, only a few miles, then the battery never fully charges. The result is a slow-draining battery that ends up dying out earlier than it’s normal life span should be.

Commuters are typically the worst on car batteries because their drives to work are typically short distances. A short stint in the morning and then one in the evening going home is not going to prolong the life of a battery very well. Instead, the wear and tear just chips away until one morning in the garage or evening in the company parking lot the car just doesn’t turn over anymore. While people can’t necessarily change where they work on the fly, bundling up reasons for driving with the commute can help reduce the damage to the battery. But when it is time to replace, Lake Norman INFINITI can help.
