keep the terminals clean, the battery full of distilled water and the alternator charging. Never run it down with the engine off, like listening to music :)

Vechile Battery- The connecting points should be clean and also tighten enough as loose contacts discharges the battery soon, The battery water level must be checked at least once every 2 months,The vechile must be driven at least once every week which will make the battery charging position on and okay, Never totally drain the battery as it reduces battery life.
If u will take the above care the Vechile battery will run smoothly and trouble free for years. Normally a Car battery lasts for 2-3 years and then it requires replacement.

All the answers you have got so far are on the money... To add if you ever have to store the car disconnect the battery Neg terminal and use a trickle charger to put it back at full charge when pulling it back out of storage...
Also if the battery is over 12 months old never hurts to check it and use a trickle charger to top the CCA every now an then...
Good Question...

You asked, how do " I " obtain.... from "YOUR" .....?
I will obtain maximum service life from your vehicle's battery, provided you give it to me Free of Cost.

In addition to keeping terminals clean, turn off accessories like the stereo, and anything plugged into the lighter, like a phone charger when it's parked overnight.

One thing that shortens a car battery's life is vibration. Make sure you battery is securely fastened down.

1. keep your points clean
2. top up distilled water (unless it is maintenance free)
3. never run your battery down by keeping aircon or lights or even stereo on after engine has been shut
