How much does short-distance city driving in Pakistan affect the battery life of Changan Alsvin?

In cities like Lahore and Karachi, traffic leads to short trips and frequent stops. Is this preventing proper battery charging?

Significantly. In urban areas like Lahore o r Islamabad:

Trips under 5 km dont let the alternator recharge what’s used in starting.

Frequent stops + idling with AC on = high electrical load, low recharge time.

Combined with weak alternator and low-Ah battery, it leads to early battery wear.
