If you’re worried about the health of your car battery replace the entire unit. Our team of auto service experts recommends getting a car battery replacement service done every three to four years. With our extensive car parts network, you can get a manufacturer-approved battery from one of the region’s best car battery shops.

This would still depend on various factors: the quality of the battery, your driving habits, the weather conditions, and what type of vehicle you own.

Most car batteries wear out every three years with normal usage. Since the battery slowly loses health every time the car gets charged up, three to four years is the average lifespan of all car batteries.

Stretching beyond this range to six years will give you a completely unreliable battery. This is not recommended since older batteries pose more extensive safety and performance issues that could result in your car breaking down.

A tip for owners of new cars with onboard computers would be to use your car more frequently. Even when your car is idle, the battery is being used by all the technological components in your vehicle.

To combat this, going for short drives around your neighborhood helps to allow the battery to recharge.
