  the blog till the last line.

• Myth 1 Go for a long drive if you flatten
  the
• battery by leaving the lights unintentionally
  on
• It is not true. The right way is to use an
  appropriate multi-stage battery charger. It will
  reliably restore its power. Make sure the charger
  voltage is high enough. Thus, the battery acid
  will get mixed evenly in the electrolyte.
• Do not rely on short-cut methods such as a short
  stop-start trip. Experts say that continuous
  undercharging or surface charging will reduce
  the capacity of the battery shorten its life as
  well. Not only that, you will void the warranty
  as well.

• Myth 2 Calcium batteries have a low charge
• rate, hence, they are not appropriate
  for old
• cars
• Calcium is there in both positive negative
  plates. It extends the shelf life and battery
  life both. The other benefits are higher
  overcharge acceptance and increase in the power
  level.
• According to experts, if the battery is showing
  lower power levels, then the problem is with the
  charging system not battery. you need to get it
  checked first. Thus, calcium batteries are very
  much useful for old cars.

• Myth 3 One should disconnect the battery
  terminals if the car is going to remain idle for
  a few weeks
• It is one of the most popular misconceptions.
  However, it is not true. Even if you are not
  going to use the car for a longer time, do not
  disconnect the battery. Modern cars have several
  electronic components that require power.
• A few examples are the electronic circuit,
  transmission and security system, steering, and
  transmission system. when you disconnect battery
  terminals, all of these systems stop. They will
  not work even if you connect the battery.

• Myth 4 To top up water level, you can use
  any water including tap water also
• No, it is not true. The water you should use has
  to be deionized, distilled demineralized. In
  the emergency, you can use rainwater captured in
  a clean container.
• tap water blocks the pores builds a coating on
  the plates. If the battery goes down due to poor
  maintenance, then you do not get the battery
  warranty. 
• Therefore, do not use any other water than the
  prescribed authorized water.
