Are you wondering if your car’s battery needs to be replaced? How long do car batteries last? The average vehicle battery life can reach up to five years, but that can depend on a number of factors. Our service center team wants to help you keep your car running in top shape on our Dayton city roads. So, we’ve put together the guide below on battery life and how to tell if it’s time to do a car battery change.
So, how long do car batteries last, exactly? The average vehicle battery life spans from three to five years. But the actual lifespan of your car’s battery can be impacted by a few different factors. Batteries in cars that need to be started several times a day for short trips generally don’t last as long as the ones in cars that are taken for longer trips. Harsh weather conditions, as sometimes occur during our Springfield winters, are likewise rough on a battery.
