Yes, they are critical preventive measures. Alsvin owners should:

Get battery load tests every 10,000–15,000 km

Use a multimeter o r OBD-II scanner to monitor voltage ~13.5–14.2V when engine running

Keep battery terminals clean and tight

Avoid deep battery discharge, which stresses the alternator during recharging

Have the alternator bearing and coil checked for noise o r heat signs during routine maintenance
