How Long Does a Car Battery Generally Last?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, a car battery typically lasts about two years. With proper maintenance, its lifespan can be extended, up to a maximum of four years. Precautions for using a car battery are as follows: 1. When starting the car, each attempt should not exceed 3 to 5 seconds, and the interval between subsequent attempts should be no less than 10 seconds. 2. Frequent short-distance driving with constant stops and starts can cause the battery to remain in a state of insufficient charge for prolonged periods, shortening its lifespan. Driving at a steady speed on the highway for 20-30 minutes allows the battery sufficient time to recharge. 3. During daily driving, before leaving the car, check and ensure all lights and other electrical appliances are turned off.
