Your Mercedes-Benz’s battery plays a vital role in keeping your vehicle going for the long term. At Mercedes-Benz of Calabasas, we are here to keep your luxury ride performing at its best through regular maintenance, including timely and efficient battery service in the heart of the LA area. Here are some tips to help you prolong the life of your luxury vehicle’s battery in Canoga Park and beyond.

Limit Short Trips Whenever Possible

When it is possible, limit short trips, specifically trips around 10 to 15 minutes. Short trips can make it difficult for your vehicle’s alternator to restore battery charge levels, which in time can degrade your battery quicker.

Clean Battery and Terminals Regularly

An easy way to keep your battery healthy is by monitoring the cleanliness of your unit and terminal. Cleaning your battery’s terminal is a quick way to avoid debris buildup or corrosion, which can play a role in degrading your battery.

Avoid Using Tech Systems with Engine Off

With so much intuitive, advanced cabin tech inside your Mercedes-Benz, convenience and connectivity are never an issue on the road. That said, these systems take on a great deal of power. Using convenience or tech features with the engine off can put unnecessary stress on your battery, draining power much faster than normal.
