When Should Car Batteries Be Replaced?

How Long Do Car Batteries Last?

The Answer: Lead acid car battery life expectancy is 3-5 years. Auto battery life is shorter in regions with hot climate due to water loss and sulfation.

The most simple and effective way to extend the life of an automotive battery is to keep it charged close to 100%. Periodically check the state of charge of your battery and charge it with a dedicated charger device when necessary.

 Consequently, try to avoid deep battery discharges that can happen, for example, if you leave your car's lights on.

Hybrid car battery life expectancy and electric car battery life expectancy is about 8 years.
