✅ Regular Maintenance – Check battery health every 6 months.
✅ Keep Terminals Clean – Corrosion can weaken connections.
✅ Avoid Extreme Temperatures – Park in the shade during summer.
✅ Drive Regularly – Long drives help keep the battery charged.
✅ Turn Off Electricals When Engine is Off – Headlights, radio, and AC drain power.
✅ Check Alternator Health – A weak alternator wont charge the battery properly.
✅ Use a Battery Maintainer – If your Hilux is parked for long periods, a trickle charger prevents discharge.

Bonus Tip: Get your battery checked at service stations before long road trips.
