How Many Years Does a Car Battery Normally Last?
1 Answers
Car batteries typically last 3 to 4 years. If stored with sufficient charge, their lifespan can be extended. However, frequent storage in a discharged state will shorten their usage time. The battery's lifespan is related to the vehicle's configuration and electrical equipment, such as navigation systems, multi-screen displays, and remote anti-theft features. These functions continue to consume power even when the vehicle is turned off, leading to prolonged battery discharge and potential damage. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. The commonly referred-to car battery is a lead-acid battery, which primarily uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte.
