1. I remember one time I had gone to a friend’s house for a party, and
the next morning when I was leaving my car battery was drained.

2. This was extremely scary due to the fact that I just had no clue as to
what to do.

3. I mean what does someone do to charge a car battery? It’s not as if
I can just plug my car into a wall outlet and charge the battery.

4. Luckily, my friend knew what to do, and helped me get my car
starting.

5. With that said I would like to inform any young drivers who haven’t
experienced a dead car battery what they should do if this ever
happens to them, and what maintenance tips drivers should
consider to prevent any damage to their car battery.

6. The first step in order to jump your car battery is to acquire jumper
cables.

7. These will allow you to connect your vehicles battery to another
cars battery which will allow you to gather enough charge needed
to start your car.

8. With the car battery charged enough to start the owner of the
vehicle should take a long drive instead of short multiple trips.

9. The reason for this is that driving a long distance will allow the
battery enough time to charge.

10. If the driver takes short multiple trips then the battery receives
short inconsistent charges which could cause further damage to
the battery.

11. The next tip for maintaining your car battery is to consider the
outside temperature.

12. The driver of a car should have their battery tested at least once
before the summer to make sure that everything is in working
order.

13. The vehicle should also be parked in a covered garage of cooler
location during the summer time to prevent any damage to the car
battery.

14. Along with considering the temperature that your car battery is
exposed to drivers should consider the cleanliness of their car
battery.

15. With this said it is very important to make sure the battery terminal
is clean and free of corrosion.

16. This can help prevent any unneeded damage to the vital car part.

17. Another tip to consider when keeping your car battery fully
functioning is to consider the professional maintenance for the
battery.

18. This will help drivers become aware of any issues that they may
have not noticed.

19. This could end up saving drivers a lot of money.

20. In conclusion, drivers should be better prepared to deal with a
dead battery, and also how to properly maintain their car battery.
