How Long Does the Buick LaCrosse Battery Last?
1 Answers
Buick LaCrosse battery typically lasts between 1 to 8 years, depending largely on the vehicle's condition. Detailed information is as follows: 1. If the vehicle's alternator charges normally and there are no electrical leaks or grounding issues, the battery can generally last over 3 years. Some older batteries develop high internal resistance, charging quickly but discharging just as fast. Even though a multimeter may show normal no-load voltage, it's essential to measure the discharge current using a discharge tester. 2. If you notice the battery isn't holding a charge, the starter is weak, or the headlights are significantly dimmer, remove the battery and charge it for 12-24 hours. If the issue persists and the vehicle has over 50,000 KM with no alternator problems, consider replacing the battery.
