The battery is quite possibly the most important part of your vehicle.

How Do Car Batteries Work?
Many of the batteries that are in modern vehicles today get the car started with a chemical reaction that brings a shot of energy to the engine. After the car’s engine has started, the battery then brings power to the alternator and that’s when your vehicle starts. If this process doesn’t happen, your vehicle won't start and you’ll be going nowhere.
How to Protect Your Vehicle’s Battery
If you’re keen on keeping your battery safe and running, there are some things you can do to prolong its life. One of the most important things you can do to keep your battery going is to clear the terminals of any dust, debris or any other blockages that may cover them. Another neat trick to help prevent the buildup of corrosive material on the connector, is to coat them with petroleum jelly. And when you’re out driving, you can make sure the music system, heaters and windshield wipers are off so that you don’t drain your battery. Doing this can allow your battery to recharge if you’re taking your vehicle out on the town.
How Do I Know if My Battery Needs Changing?
Has your vehicle’s battery had trouble in harsh conditions and extreme heat? Then it's most certainly time for you to get your battery changed. To keep your battery from dying, you’ll want to avoid leaving your vehicle undriven for an extended period of time. Another sign that your battery needs to be changed is if your vehicle won’t turn over and doesn’t start. And the most tell-tale l sign of all is when the light comes on in your dashboard to check your battery. If any of these issues arise, it’s a sign that your battery needs to be replaced.
