Why Your Kia Battery Requires Service
Car batteries require maintenance to serve you reliably, but there are also best practices that following will help you avoid prematurely damaging your battery. For example, having the battery charge go low multiple times will affect its charging performance and charge hold, making it essential to always drive your vehicle regularly and never leave it parked for long periods of time. Also, it’s important not to expose the battery to temperatures that are too hot or too cold, as that can also shorten its lifespan.
However, there are also a few services that will help keep your battery functioning as intended, including:
- Test Alternator Output
- Inspect for Parasitic Power Draws
- Repair Electrical Issues
- Verify Aftermarket Accessory Installations
- Inspect Battery Condition & Mounting
- Clean and Tight Battery Connections
Benefits of Using a Kia Genuine Battery
Another reason your Kia’s battery might not be lasting as long as expected could be that you’re not using a genuine OEM Kia battery. For optimal electrical performance, your vehicle requires a battery that meets particular requirements, including correct cold cranking amps, reserve capacity, and amp hours. Even if an aftermarket battery matches those specs on paper, it still needs to fit properly and be compatible with features like vent tubing, especially on models with trunk-mounted batteries. That’s why choosing a genuine Kia battery often offers more advantages than going with an aftermarket option, including the following:
- Meets Vehicle-Specific Power Requirements
- Exact Fitment and Secure Mounting
- Integrated Venting for Trunk-Mounted Batteries
- Matched to Your Alternator’s Power Output
