Using the correct battery type avoids overcharging or underperformance, prevents alternator strain and reduces the chance of electronic anomalies. Additionally, dealership service includes battery registration in the vehicle’s management systems to ensure accurate state-of-charge reporting and optimized charging algorithms. This level of attention protects your investment and supports reliable operation in all driving conditions.
