Ever had your car refuse to start just when you needed it the most? Battery failure is one of the top causes of roadside breakdowns in Dubai.

But what if you could extend your car battery’s life and avoid sudden failure? Here’s what you need to know.

1. Why Do Car Batteries Die So Fast in Dubai?

Extreme heat: Speeds up battery fluid evaporation
Short trips: Doesn’t give the battery enough time to recharge
Electronics overuse: Draining power from AC, lights, and phone chargers

2. How to Make Your Car Battery Last Longer

Avoid parking in direct sunlight – Heat kills batteries faster
Drive longer distances – Short trips weaken battery charge
Turn off electronics when parked – Saves unnecessary drain
Check battery terminals – Corrosion leads to poor connections

3. How Often Should You Replace Your Battery?

In Dubai: Every 2-3 years (hot climate shortens lifespan)
Check voltage every 6 months to detect weak batteries early

Warning Signs Your Battery is About to Die
Slow engine start
Dim headlights or flickering dashboard lights
Clicking sound when turning the key

If you notice any of these signs, don’t ignore them—a dead battery can leave you stranded!
