How many years can the original car battery last?
1 Answers
The service life of the original car battery is 3 to 4 years, while the service life of ordinary car batteries is generally 2-3 years. The service life of the battery is related to the vehicle's configuration and electrical equipment. For example, configurations such as navigation, multi-screen information display, remote control anti-theft, etc., with numerous vehicle functions, continue to consume power even when the vehicle is turned off, leading to prolonged battery discharge and reducing the battery's service life. The battery is most afraid of low temperatures. In low-temperature environments, the battery's capacity is much lower than at normal temperatures. Therefore, timely inspection and maintenance are essential. In daily life, pay attention to the following: 1. Avoid parking the car in an open parking lot for long periods. If parked for an extended time, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage. 2. In winter, the car engine is harder to start. Each start attempt should not exceed 5 seconds, with an interval of no less than 15 seconds between attempts. If the car fails to start after multiple attempts, check other aspects such as the circuit, ignition coil, or fuel system to avoid continuous unsuccessful starts that may cause the battery to over-discharge and burn out. 3. The car battery should be charged regularly. A battery left unused will slowly self-discharge until it is scrapped. Therefore, start the car periodically to charge the battery. 4. Clean the battery terminals regularly and apply special grease to protect the wiring harness. 5. Avoid using car electrical appliances after the engine is turned off. Using the battery alone when the engine is not generating power can cause damage.
