How Often Should an Electric Vehicle Battery Be Replaced?

[LaRicardo]

An automotive battery typically needs replacement every 2-4 years. Theoretically, the lifespan of a car battery is generally around 2-3 years. With proper usage and maintenance, it can last up to 4 years without issues. However, improper use and maintenance can lead to premature failure within a few months. Therefore, correct usage of the car battery is crucial. Relevant information about car batteries is as follows: 1. Introduction: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which is primarily made of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Advantages of Conventional Batteries: The plates of conventional batteries are composed of lead and lead oxides, with an aqueous sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Their main advantages are stable voltage and low cost; the disadvantages include low specific energy (the amount of electrical energy stored per kilogram of battery), short lifespan, and frequent maintenance.
