Car Batteries

If you haven't been driving your car or it's been left sitting idle because of the current lockdown, you may not have enough power in your battery to start the engine. And while it may seem like a good idea, running your vehicles engine five minutes a day is not enough to maintain your car battery.

To maintain the charge in your vehicles battery you need at least 30 minutes of driving - depending on the vehicle and the battery age. However, with the current restrictions in place, we recommend using a battery charger. With a fully automatic charger, it can be fitted to maintain your pride and joy or, used as a normal battery charger. Charge every two weeks and you’ll extend the life of your battery, restore battery performance and minimise the chances of breaking down.

If car travel is essential, and you're worried about your battery - we provide a free battery health check for Members and can assist you with all your battery needs. If you’re after a battery charger, or a battery for your car - the NRMA are here to help. Simply call 1300 726 751.
