Under normal circumstances, a car battery can last 3 to 4 years. The maintenance methods for car batteries are as follows: Regularly charge the battery: When a car's battery is not used for a long time, it will slowly discharge on its own until it becomes unusable. Therefore, start the car periodically to charge the battery. Avoid long-term parking: Do not leave the car parked in an open parking lot for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage. The battery's charge level can be monitored on the dashboard. When the ammeter indicates insufficient charge, recharge the battery promptly.
