[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband has a battery charger and charges our car batteries regularly to prolong their lifespan. So far it seems to work.[/quote] that's what alternator does. not sure why your DH is wasting time doing that. [/quote] DP. It is needed if the car is not driven regularly. It is not good for the battery if it discharges completely [/quote] Its also not good for fluids, seals, and tires for a car to sit for long periods of time. I've read you should drive the car at least every 2 weeks.[/quote] Ideally, yes, but it also matters how you drive. A short low speed drive would do more bad than good. [/quote] Why?[/quote] Short driving distances without getting engine up to operating temperatures creates condensation in the engine, as well as just causing more wear on the moving parts due to being "cold" still when driving.
