Just starting your car may do more harm than good!

Simply starting a car occasionally and leaving it running for only a few minutes isn’t likely to help, in fact this may end up draining a weak battery, driving the vehicle for 15-20 minutes would, in most cases, be sufficient to top up the battery charge.

If there are two cars in your household you may want to consider alternating your essential trips in them. You should also be mindful that repeated short journeys will flatten your battery faster than usual, which is even more reason to follow the government’s guidance to shop for necessities as infrequently as possible.
