How can I extend the lifespan of my Vauxhall Zafira Life's battery?

I've been having some trouble with my Vauxhall Zafira Life's battery recently. It seems to be draining more quickly than usual and I'm worried about having to replace it. Is there anything I can do to extend its lifespan?

Regularly check the battery's terminals for corrosion and clean them if necessary. This will prevent any buildup that can drain the battery.

Make sure to turn off all electronics and lights when exiting the vehicle. Leaving them on can drain the battery.

Consider using a battery maintainer or trickle charger if your vehicle is not used frequently. This will keep the battery charged and help extend its lifespan.

If you notice the battery is struggling, avoid making short trips. This can prevent the battery from fully charging and lead to a shorter lifespan.

During extreme weather conditions, such as extreme heat or cold, try to limit the use of power-hungry features such as air conditioning or heated seats. This can put extra strain on the battery and lead to a shorter lifespan.
