Feel free to ask for a dictionary for Christmas.
Then you will be able to look up sarcasm:D

And you might want to ask how can I add anything usefull to this post without condemming anyone who says you have been lucky???
I also didn't detect 1 iota of sarcasm in my earlier post, maybe you are just toooo susceptible. I'll go away and check, but is it has anything to do with ......................
From Wiki wotnot;
Sarcasm is “a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter jibe or taunt.”
Check out post #16 again, which you seem to have taken ecception too and explain exactly what is sarcastic or taunting, otherwise do one.I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

From Wiki wotnot; Still worth getting that dictionary

I do drive 3-5 days a week and not very far. Do I have to drive every day in order to save the batteries?
How far is "not very far"
No, you don't have to drive every day.
You could buy a battery charger for about £30 - £40 learn how to remove the battery and charge it once a week in this weather. once a month in the summer.
If you have a driveway you can charge it on the car - don't have to remove it.0 -

Sometimes I do 5-6 miles per a day. Is it a problem? I had my car serviced in May0 -

It shouldn't be a problem.
Is it causing you any problem?
My mother has never had a problem with car batteries, she is lucky to do a trip of more than two miles when she takes the car out which will be, at most, three times a week.0 -

Yes it's a problem....
Let's say your battery has a 45ah (amp/hour) capacity.
A starter motor can draw anything from around 50amps to 250amps.
Most cars recharge the battery at a rate of 4amps in normal conditions.
Driving for 5-6 miles will not be enough to keep the battery in good health because the current draw to start the car will not be replaced by the cars charging system.
Combine this with wipers, heater, demister, headlights, radio, etc and your barely recharging at all.
It's 10 seconds at 100amps compared to 15 minutes recharging at maybe 1 amp with all the electrics on.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Do I have to drive my car more often and for longer distances?0 -

Unless your daily mileage goes up, i'd say at the very least give it a half hour run once a week.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”
