Charge Your Car Day is October
5th. The cost to replace a car's battery can reach over
$200 which can put unnecessary strain
on many households balancing their cashflow. Remember to charge
your vehicle!
CHICAGO, Oct. 4, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- CTEK, the world's leader in battery charging
solutions, is celebrating the official Charge Your Car Day
2024, as the company shines a spotlight on the need for
regular battery maintenance to keep us on the road.
In the United States, about 36%
of Americans drive daily, which has decreased from pre-pandemic
levels, when more people were behind the wheel every day.
Additionally, approximately 89% of Americans aged 25 and older hold
a driver's license, meaning the majority of U.S. adults are still
active drivers, though their frequency of driving may vary. Even
though many drive less, vehicle ownership and reliance on cars
remain high in the country.
A recent survey found that 65% of American motorists don't think
about their car battery until it fails, which often results in
missed appointments or late arrivals due to dead batteries.
Furthermore, 91% of drivers have experienced a dead battery at some
point. Despite this, few take preventive measures, with only 2%
checking their battery before long trips and 72% never using a
charger to maintain battery health.
And with an array of products that deliver safe, intuitive,
intelligent charging solutions, it's never been a better time to
show some love to your car battery; the very thing that enables us
to travel and top up our own social batteries as we travel to work,
meet friends or just enjoy the thrill of driving.
Unexpected breakdowns an inconvenient bite of the bank
balance
It's no secret that household finances remain at their most
stretched in recent memory, with the prospect of an unexpected full
battery replacement becoming the stuff of financial nightmares.
The cost to replace a car's battery can reach over $200 which can put unnecessary strain
on many households balancing their cashflow. While
increasing energy prices also remain a common topic worldwide, it
is still significantly cheaper to prevent an issue than rectify
when things go wrong. Products such as the CTEK CS FREE®
provide an effective, intelligent solution to top up all variety of
12V Lithium and Lead Acid batteries. Meanwhile, the CTEK Ready
comfort connectors makes plugging your vehicle into a charger as
convenient as charging your laptop, as well as being comparable in
cost.
And for the time's you do get stuck
Regular maintenance charging helps prevent sulfation and keeps
the battery in optimal condition, with the aim to avoid any
breakdowns. However, if you do breakdown, using CTEK's CS FREE®
adaptive booster is a wise choice compared to traditional jump
starters. The CS FREE's adaptive boost technology ensures a safer
and gentler start, reducing the risk of damaging the battery or
causing electrical system issues. This innovative approach not only
gets you back on the road swiftly but also safeguards your
battery's health, providing a more sustainable solution for vehicle
maintenance and peace of mind on the go.
