Battery Maintenance

The service writer at the auto dealer told me I do not drive enough to charge my battery, that it takes 45 minutes to just start charging. He suggested I get a charger.  Instead, about once a month, I take a long ride in the car, about an hour or hour and a half.  Sometimes I go out of town.  Sometimes, I ride around Lubbock and look for changes. There has been a lot of development in Lubbock, and I like to stay aware of what these changes are.  I had been for a ride in a while, so I went out yesterday.  It was a pretty day for a ride.
