How do I properly maintain the battery of a Ford Focus?

I have recently purchased a Ford Focus and I want to make sure that the battery stays in good condition. What are some tips and tricks to maintain the battery and prolong its lifespan?

One tip to maintain the battery of your Ford Focus is to regularly check the battery terminals for any corrosion and clean them with a mixture of baking soda and water.

It's important to not leave your Ford Focus unused for long periods of time as it can drain the battery. If you know you won't be driving it for a while, consider investing in a battery maintainer.

In addition to regular maintenance, make sure to avoid any unnecessary strain on the battery such as leaving the lights on or using electronic accessories while the car is turned off.

If you notice any signs of a weak battery such as slow engine cranking or dimming lights, it's best to get it checked and possibly replaced before it completely dies on you.
