Mobile Battery Squad Offers Advice For COVID-19 Car Owners in San Antonio Texas

Has your car or truck been sitting in your garage or on the street for a while during the pandemic?

Guess what?  It is time to take it for a drive.

The pandemic has forced millions of Americans to change their daily lives.  Most are working from home or are unable to work.  Groceries are delivered, allowing the ability to not travel to the store.  The less frequent travel outside of our home leaves their car to sit for long periods.

"A car parked for extended periods risks the battery losing charge and eventually dying," says Paul with the Mobile Battery Squad.  "Automotive starting batteries are made to be utilized at least every few days to ensure they stay charged."  Paul adds, "Even though you are not using your car, there are still components like alarms and OnStar that may be using voltage."

The Mobile Battery Squad offers a few suggestions to help keep your battery ready to go.  First, start your car every few days for a few minutes.  Second, you can invest in a battery that plugs into the wall or uses a solar cell.  Third, you can also disconnect your battery while not in use.
