How Long Can a Hybrid Car Battery Last?

[DiElliana]

Under normal usage, it can typically last for over 10 years. The lifespan of a car battery generally ranges from 2 to 3 years. Below are some key points regarding car battery maintenance and cleaning precautions: Car Battery Maintenance: Avoid frequent vehicle starts. In winter, when the car is hard to start, do not attempt continuous ignition. Repeatedly starting the motor will inevitably cause excessive discharge and damage to the battery. The interval between restart attempts should exceed 5 seconds. When the battery has been in use for approximately two and a half years, routine maintenance should include battery testing as a preventive measure. Try to avoid using electrical devices such as the CD player or cigarette lighter when the vehicle is not running, and minimize the use of various onboard electrical appliances while driving. Battery Cleaning Precautions: When cleaning the battery, ensure that no liquid enters the battery. Additionally, each engine start attempt should ideally not exceed 5 seconds, and if the first attempt fails, avoid rushing to repeatedly start the engine. Continuous engine cranking during startup can lead to battery damage due to excessive discharge. If the vehicle fails to start after multiple attempts, seek assistance from a professional.
