How Long Can a Car Battery Last When Charging?

[LeIsabela]

The normal service life of a car battery is about 2-3 years. There are three key maintenance methods for car batteries: 1. Avoid parking in open-air parking lots for extended periods: If long-term parking is necessary, the battery should be removed and taken away to prevent damage; 2. Engine starting time: Each engine start attempt should not exceed 5 seconds, with an interval of at least 15 seconds between attempts. If the engine fails to start after multiple attempts, check other aspects such as the electrical circuit, ignition coil, or fuel system instead of continuously attempting to start; 3. Regular charging is essential: A battery left unused for long periods will gradually self-discharge and eventually become unusable. Therefore, it's important to start the car periodically to charge the battery.
