How to Avoid A Flat Battery During Coronavirus Lockdown?
A growing concern for many motorists has been their vehicles refusing to start when they need them again, post-isolation. If you use your vehicle to carry out essential journeys, such as picking up shopping and medication, this will provide the sufficient maintained charge that your battery requires, provided that the shops are a few miles away
Alternatively, you could invest in a battery charger but, before doing so consult the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines.
The timeframe of which a battery will last depends on a range of different factors including the climate on which the car operates in, how regularly the car is driven, and how well both the car and battery are maintained. Therefore, it is difficult to predict how long a battery will last.
Ensure that you have turned off your lights, as these will, inevitably, drain your battery.
If, when you go to use your car again, the battery has gone flat, contact a mechanic for further advice.
