What is the best way to maintain the longevity of my Toyota RAV4's battery life?

I just purchased a Toyota RAV4 and I want to make sure I am taking proper care of the battery to ensure its longevity. Can anyone give me advice on how to best maintain the battery for maximum performance?

Maintaining your battery properly can greatly extend its life. Make sure to keep it clean and free of corrosion. Also, avoid frequent short trips which can cause strain on the battery. If possible, use a trickle charger when the vehicle is not in use to keep the battery fully charged.

I have found that using a battery tender while storing your vehicle for extended periods of time can greatly benefit the overall health of your battery. It keeps it fully charged without overcharging, which can cause damage.

Regularly checking the electrolyte levels and topping off with distilled water when necessary can also help prolong the life of your battery. It's a simple task that can make a big difference.
